Genuine
fellowship is based on the concept of giving to and receiving from other
Christians. You can share with others whatever God has given you --
forgiveness, possessions, love, His Word, and many other things. God gives
fellowship for the purpose of mutual encouragement and growth. He wants
Christians to live in unity and harmony with one another. To help us understand
how believers are related, God uses the analogy of the body. Jesus Christ is
the Head of the body, which is comprised of all believers. All Christians
throughout the world belong to Christ's body, but it is important for you to
recognize how God wants you to relate to a smaller, specific group of
believers. This smaller group is for the purpose of instruction, sharing,
worship, and service. God has given spiritual leaders to help you mature in
Christ and to become effective in the ministry.
