Union With God!
"If we confess our sins,
He is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness."
1 John 1: 9
A New Testament
word fellowship (koinonia) comes
from the root word that means “common.” From that
idea comes the notion of communion. Apostle John
in his first epistle wrote about the fellowship we have
“with the Father and with His
Son Jesus Christ” and,
then fellowship we have with others who are in
fellowship with God.
But the idea of fellowship (commonality, union)
with God raises the question: What happens to
our union with God when we sin?
John anticipated this question and went on to
write,
“The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from
all sin” (1 John 1:7). He then put his theology in this
way: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.”
No one lives a sinless life We all must
know how to enjoy our fellowship, our
oneness, our communion with God
through confession and forgiveness.
Never doubt God’s desire to fellowship
with you. Confess your
failures to Him
and receive His forgiveness.
"The
fellowship of God
is delightful beyond all
telling."
