The
entire King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO
us!
We
learn from the "For" and study Paul's writings to apply the 'TO!"

FEL'LOWSHIP, n.
1. Companionship; society; consort; mutual association of persons
on equal and friendly terms;
We don't need to just 'hang around' and play games with each other -
we should be having fellowship with those who agree with Paul, etc.
Games can often be an escape from poor fellowship.
Here is what Paul tells us about fellowship.
I. Fellowship of His Son!
-
At His coming!
-
I Corinthians 1:4-9
-
Not I John 1:3,6,7!
-
nothing about losing fellowship with God, etc. these
days from Paul's teachings!
-
Remember I Corinthians 13:10 - we can
have that fellowship today as we read the Bible and pray.
II. Not to have fellowship with devils!
-
I Corinthians 10:10
-
Our old sacrifices as a lost person - and now still doing them?
-
I Corinthians 8:4 - an idol is nothing!
III. No Fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness
-
Ephesians 5:6-16
-
Remember our liberty strings?
-
edify; expedient, control you, flesh, Stumble!
IV. No fellowship of righteousness with unrighteousness
-
II Corinthians 6:14-18
-
We even can have trouble with ourselves!
-
We have Christ's imputed righteousness and yet we still live with unrighteousness.
V. Fellowship of ministering to the saints!
VI. Offer your Right hand of fellowship only to those with whom
you agree!
-
Galatians 2:1-9
-
They perceived the grace Paul had - that is a GOOD testimony!
VII. Fellowship of the mystery
-
Ephesians 3:8-12
-
Heaven in involved with this fellowship
-
Universal / Invisible body of Christ
VIII. Fellowship of his sufferings
