Fellowship With God
Sharing a common purpose ....
we have something in common .....
But for that to take place there must be
communion a time to talk or togeterness
community - we are part of a group
common purpose - salvation and forgiveness of sins
The word translated fellowship in our New Testaments is the Greek word koinonia and it can be defined as a “relationship, communion, community, common purpose or sharing”.
A COMMON PURPOSE ...
Great blessings accompany fellowship with God.
Fellowship with God means Spiritual Communion
A RELATIONSHIP
First, when we have fellowship with Father, we have fellowship with the Son, the apostles and all others who follow God.
When we have fellowship with God we should never feel alone, because we share in spiritual communion with past and present believers (,).
Since fellowship is the objective of John’s letter, it was natural for him to begin with a discussion of this subject.
So in 1:5–2:11 he enunciated some fundamental principles which lie at the root of all genuine fellowship with God.
These principles are of immense practical value to the everyday lives of all Christians.
By these principles believers may test the reality of their personal communion with God.
They may also discern whether they have come to know the God with whom they commune.
Fellowship with God means Being Cleansed of Sins
Since fellowship is the objective of John’s letter, it was natural for him to begin with a discussion of this subject.
Secondly, when we are in fellowship with God we have the benefit of continual cleansing of sin.
As long as we are in a relationship with God, as His children we can be constantly be made pure by the cleansing ability of Christ’s blood.
God cannot have fellowship with sin, He is light and in Him is no darkness ().
Light is the absence of darkness, when we abide in the light (ie.
fellowship with God), darkness is removed and we are found pure.
So in 1:5–2:11 he enunciated some fundamental principles which lie at the root of all genuine fellowship with God.
Great Blessings are Associated with Being "In Fellowship" with God
These blessings we have examined are wonderful representations of God’s care and concern for His creation.
These blessings, however, are conditional upon us maintaing real fellowship with God, His Son and His church.
We cannot declare to have a relationship with God and still be living in darkness.
God who is light cannot be in the presence of darkness.
() May we always abide in the light and reap the benefits of real fellowship with God.
I Truth and Light
What are we having fellowship with .....
The perfect holy God!
Love, truth, no darkness...
God is light and exposes sin....
God is light and exposes sin....
Light exposes filth and disease
darkness - mold, moisture and defilement
This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you.
By the words “from Him,”
This is the message we have heard from Him and declare to you.
By the words “from Him,”
John no doubt meant from the Lord Jesus Christ whose Incarnation he had just referred to (vv.
1–2).
The content of this “message,” as John expressed it, is that God is Light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
In describing God as Light, which John frequently did (, ; ; ; ; , ; ), he was no doubt thinking of God as the Revealer of His holiness.
Both aspects of the divine nature figure in the discussion of sin and fellowship in .
As Light, God both exposes man’s sin and condemns it.
If anyone walks in darkness, he is hiding from the truth which the Light reveals (cf.
).
It is important that the “message” John had heard is the one he directed to his readers (“we … declare to you”).
When carefully considered, the kind of claims which John refuted are precisely the kind which may be made by Christians who lose touch with spiritual realities and with God.
The effort to find in verses 6–10 the doctrinal beliefs of heretical teachers lacks adequate exegetical foundation[1]
The first thing God did in Creation was to “command the light to shine out of darkness” ().
He did so simply by saying, “Light be!” “And light was,” the Holy Spirit says (see ). Physical light bears the image and stamp of its Creator, a God who is, Himself, light.[1]
Another wonderful property of light is that it cannot be defiled.
Moreover, light can, and most certainly does, reveal defilement.
Also, life as we know it craves light.
A plant will always turn toward the light and struggle to reach it.
Such are some of the characteristics of natural, created light.
Many of these properties reflect the One who reveals Himself as the Light.
He is always the same, He is immaculate and beyond the reach of darkness, He reveals Himself to us in all the diverse beauties of His being.
And beneath the sunshine of His smile, life can flourish, take root, and grow.
Our desire is toward Him, and He rules over us.[2]
By this He meant that God is absolutely holy, absolutely righteous, and absolutely pure.
God cannot look with favor on any form of sin.
Nothing is hidden with Him, but “all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Our fellowship is with the Light!
II Deception and Darkness
1 john 2.6-11
vs 6- deception - you are in think the light thought you don't walk in it.
1 john 1.
vs 6- deception - you are in think the light thought you don't walk in it.
I save that I am saved but look at my fruit ....
I am saved but .......
A person walking in the light will have fellowship with the Light....
vs 7 - we will have fellowship with God ...
vs 8- we are still sinners and the sin anture abounds
vs 9 - we will confess and be forgiven
vs 10 we are still sinners
Deceived
Since “God is Light,” it follows that a Christian cannot truly claim communion with Him while living in the darkness.
As John warned, If we claim to have fellowship with Him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.

11 Important Biblical Evidences Of Salvation: (Bible Study)
There are many people who believe they’re saved, but they are not saved.
On the other side of the coin there are many people who truly are saved but are struggling with the full assurance of their salvation.
The Apostle Paul had to deal with a case of incest in the Corinthian assembly () and laid down a list of sins for which church members should come under church discipline ().
Spurious claims to fellowship with God have been a tragic reality throughout the history of the church.
There is a difference between assurance of salvation and evidence of salvation.
The assurance of your salvation should only come from the perfect work of Christ on the cross.
We can be confident in our salvation.
