Fellowship with Him...

I John 1:6-7 NKJV

If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Shalom! Day #36. Do you know that in the days of the old testament, animal is sacrificed in order to cover their sins, but it did not wash away their sins? Let's pray! Father, in the name of Jesus we come to you today. Father forgive us of our sins as we forgave those who sinned against us. Give us today our daily bread. As we study your word, Holy Spirit help us to have an intimate fellowship with You. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen.

The Greek word for fellowship is "KOINONIA" which means communion by intimate participation. If we say we have communion by intimate participation with God, and walk in darkness, we are actually fooling ourselves and fooling others and fooling God! Communion by intimate participation it means, sorry to say, it means for example a deep sexual relationship between a husband and wife. A husband knows his wife very well because of this intimate relationship same goes to the wife. The bible says that we are the bridegroom of Christ, therefore we are to know Him intimately. If you know God, then we would not walk in darkness and will practice the truth. If we have this intimate relationship with God, we would not just think twice but many many many times before we do something that's gonna hurt His heart. Wherever God walks, we walk together with Him. To be the light of the world, first, we must be in the light of His glory. Second, we must arise and thirdly, is to shine forth His glory!

Do you know that in the days of the old testament, animal is sacrificed in order to cover their sins, but it did not wash away their sins? Innocent animals were sacrificed to cover up our sin. Blood sacrifice is needed just to cover up our sins and not to cleanse our sins. In order for a priest to enter into the holy of holies, he need to consecrate himself for one year. Then he can go in and sacrifice the animal to cover up the sins of Israel. God offered His Son, Jesus. His love covers a multitude of sins and His blood washes away our sins. God paid a ransom which no human would even think to pay in order for us to be connected to Him and have this privilege to fellowship with Him daily. Are we worshipping God In vain. Do you understand the meaning of a sacrifice in worship? Jesus explained and demonstrated sacrifice in worship through every act that was done to Jesus at the cross. He sacrifice so that we may have this fellowship and an intimate relationship who our Creator God.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
