God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Co. 1:9
It's
remarkable to know that God has called us into fellowship with His Son
Jesus Christ. But what is our response to this call? It is one thing to
be called, it's another thing to respond to the call. By the call, God
is inviting us into fellowship with His Son; this is the greatest
invitation we can ever receive after the invitation to come to Christ.
It is in fellowship with Christ that godly character is formed. To
ignore this invitation to fellowship with Christ is to elect a life
lived to gratify carnal and earthly things. But how can we have
fellowship with Christ? We do this by coming to His word and prayer
directed by the Holy Spirit.
Christ longs to be
with us and to make this fellowship possible, He didn't only die to
bring us to the Father, He also sent His Spirit to live in us and to be
with us. As we yield ourselves to the Holy Spirit, He will lead us into a
life of intimacy with Christ, which is what fellowship brings about. If
such a life is your desire, then you can't afford to ignore the
invitation to fellowship with Christ.
