LIVE THE NEW LIFE: FELLOWSHIP

I John 1:3“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.”


Hebrews 10:22-2522 let us draw near to God with a

sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold unswervingly (fast) to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.


And let us consider how we may spur (stir) one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
