Fellowship with Deity    1 Corinthians 1:9

This post concerns the meaning of fellowship with Deity.

‘Fellowship with Deity’ discusses the meaning of  living as God calls us, 1 Corinthians 1:9. “God … faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” The meaning of this calling and fellowship should have a profound effect on the life of a Christian and how we live.

For example, the Christian now belongs to the Body of Christ with its promise of eternal salvation, Ephesians 5:23. “… Christ…the head of the church, his body, and… himself its Savior.”

This means that this special relationship should  affect our mental outlook, Colossians 3:15. “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And … thankful.” Thus, because Christians belong to the body of Christ or the church, they have a home in heaven. Because of this, they show thankfulness and mental peace. Peace with God promises mental release from concerns with how God feels about this special fellowship.

In addition, the life of the Christian illustrates the role of this fellowship with the world, Hebrews 12:14. “Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.”

Also, the Apostle Peter stressed this point, 1 Peter 1:15-16. “…as he who called you… holy, you also …holy in all your conduct, since … written, “You shall… holy, for I am holy.” This means exhibiting holiness so that the world can see in the Christian the attributes of God and this fellowship.

Thus, the conclusion of all these verses emphasizes fellowship with God and Jesus in our lives.

So, what did we learn?

1.God calls Christians to live in fellowship with Deity.

2.The called people reside in the Body of Christ, the saved group, the church.

3.Mentally, the Christian at peace with God and strives for holiness toward the world.
