Title: Fellowship with God (John 15:4)
Content A successful life of faith consists in maintaining good fellowship with God. Although we became children of God in Jesus, becoming children is different from having fellowship with God. You can often see people who are children at home, but live with their parents. The life of fellowship with God every day is expressed as having a time of reverence. If you set a time every day to make a habit of praising, speaking, and praying, you will enjoy the same blessings as if a branch is supplied with sap from a tree and its leaves are green and bear fruit. No great work can be done for the glory of God without daily spiritual fellowship. Personal fellowship is to be maintained softly and naturally so that the taste is sweet and pleasant.
will be. There must be such sweetness between God and ourselves.
1. Have fellowship with God through the following Bible verses. Let's think about what it means.
(1) Hebrews 4:16-Grace to help in time of need means when we need it.
(2) Isaiah 40:31-The meaning of waiting for the Lord
(3) Psalm 16:8,9 - The reason I am not shaken is
After considering the meaning of each, let's read Matthew 15:8.
What is the meaning of to know in 1 Chronicles 28:9 and Hosea 6:3
2. Can we have fellowship with God?
Necessary and sufficient conditions for fellowship-
Must be alive (Psalm 42:2)
It must be a personal existence (intellect, truth, righteousness, etc.) (Isa 55:8, Ho 7:8)
Ephesians 1:5)
There must be a means of fellowship (communication). (Hebrews 1:1-2)
One must take initiative and approach first (Acts 7:2, John 15:16)
(1) There was a beginning of a relationship (Genesis 1:27) - The purpose of creation is clear.
(2) Relationships were destroyed (Genesis 3:8, Romans 1:28, Psalm 14:1-3, Psalm 115:4-7, Romans 1:21-23)
(3) Friendship was restored. (Hebrews 10:19-22) - Whose initiative is it?
(4) The continuation of friendship is life. (1 Corinthians 1:9, John 1:3)
This fellowship (fellowship) takes place over all time periods, but it is especially intensive through the time of devotion, where the Word meets regularly through prayer. This part will be studied over the next two hours.
3. Why should fellowship with God continue?
(1) This is the way we live (John 15:4), because God has provided this foundation. (Hebrews 10:19
-22 )
(2) Because God is looking for us. (John 4:23)
(3) It is because we must grow up as children of God. (Romans 8:29) - To become like Jesus is
It is spiritual growth, but this is only possible when we keep seeing Him.
(4) Above all else, Jesus set the example first. (Look carefully....)
Mark 1:35-what happened before and after this verse (1:21-28 , 1:29-31 , 1:32-34 )
1:36-39, Luke 4:1,42,5:16, 6:12 )
If we neglect to seek God because we are always busy, tired, and hard
what will be the result
4. To Continue Fellowship with God
(1) You must have your own efforts. (The relationship between men and women, friends, and couples is the same)
(2) Therefore, it is possible only with investment of time. ( Psalm 24:1 )
-The woman who broke the perfume oil never did it before.
(3) To do so, it must be continued consistently every day.
- A day trip is not suitable for dating. The same goes for crashing
It takes time every day to remember His promises. ( Importance of Q.T )
It is important to secure the time, place, amount of the Bible text, and prayer topics every day.
(4) It requires training to feel His presence. (Proverbs 6:20-24, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Joshua 1:8,
Psalm 1:2, Psalm 19:14, Matthew 28:20, Psalm 119:98)
Fellowship with God is the life and process of children who come to know and imitate God. Without constant communion with him, I always live my own way and stubbornly, resulting in unvirtuous people. Next time, we will study the Word (the Bible), which is the means of fellowship he has given us.
