Wednesday, July 19, 2023 at 9:37AM Love Needed
Today is July 19, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
Before gentiles started being saved, the early church had amazing fellowship partly because they had the same culture and history.
Today, we don't have that luxury.
This is why true biblical fellowship is so hard. It is easier to have fellowship with people who share your culture or your history then it is with complete strangers.
But, the church of Christ is not supposed to be centered on our background or what makes us who we are. The church of Christ is supposed to be centered around Jesus Christ; around his love. Only in Christ can we have true fellowship. For...
It is his love that unites us (Galatians 3:28)
It is his love that calls us to accept one another (Romans 15:7) and submit to one another (Ephesians 5:21).
It is his love that should be the center of our minds as we strive to have relationship with one another (Philippians 2:5).
It his a love that does not make war with one another but challenges us toward being at peace with one another (Colossians 3:15).
Only in Christ can we have true fellowship.
And, when we abide in him and see more and more the depths of his love for us, the more will we be able to have fellowship with any Christian, no matter their culture or history. And that is what we are called to do as Christians.
God's blessing upon you as you mediate on fellowship and the love of Jesus, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
