…so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
1John 1:3 ESV
Fellowship… equivalent to relationship… the deep life-sharing kind… not the superficial-Hi how are you…-Fine… kind…
For Believers… relationship is tied to… bound up in… our fellowship with God the Father and Jesus His Son…
Believers deepen relationship with one another… by first… pursuing fellowship with the Father… through Jesus the Son…
How wondrous is that…?
No matter the distance between… in miles or time… we can deepen fellowship with others by deepening our relationship with the Father…

When He is our common ground… our common tie… we have richer fellowship with each other… even when separated by time or space…
The Holy Spirit… connects us with Him… and all Believers… just as the Son stayed connected to the Father… during His time on earth…
“…Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. …” — Jesus praying for His disciples
John 17:11 ESV
Fellowship with Him… the heart of relationship with one another…
Feeling distant from others…?
Maybe it’s time to draw near to Him…
