1599. One in Fellowshiping Saints

One in Fellowshiping Saints

"Thus saith the High and Lofty One, I will dwell * * with him" (Isa_57:15).

1. The Father Fellowships Saints

"Our fellowship is with the Father" (1Jn_1:3).

The Lord Jesus Christ gave us the promise that the Father would come in and take up His abode with us; this is exactly what the Father does. If God is Father, His sons have the right of approach unto Him. For this cause we may draw nigh in full assurance of faith. It is the Father's joy to be with His sons, no matter where they go, or in what straits they are cast, He is with them.

He tenderly says, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee."

2. The Son Fellowships Saints

"Our fellowship is * * with his Son Jesus Christ" (1Jn_1:3).

The Lord Jesus said, "If any man * * open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me."

Jesus Christ gave promise, "Lo, I am with you alway." Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we need fear no evil for He is with us.

3. The Spirit Fellowships Saints

"The communion of the Holy Ghost" (2Co_13:14).

The Spirit of God is both with us and in us, He never leaves us nor forsakes us, wherever we go He is there, ready to help and to strengthen, ready to fellowship and to favor.

It may seem simple that God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Spirit alike fellowship saints, but be it ever so simple, it assures us that each of the Trinity is very God, for only God could fellowship all saints, of all ages and of every clime–only God could satisfy them with His love.
