Relationship and Fellowship

Relationship is based on birth, fellowship is based on behavior. You were born of your father and mother. That is permanent no matter what happens. They can disregard you, disown you, disinherit you but you are still their child.

Relationship with God; to God is based solely on birth. "You must be born again" John 3:3. "For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God" 1 Peter 1:23. We were born of our parents by corruptible seed and we shall all die physically unless Jesus comes first. When we are born of God we are born of incorruptible seed and we shall never die spiritually. Doesn't that make sense?

Physical versus spiritual death "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned" Rom. 5:12. We all belong to Adams race by our physical birth and so we all shall die physically. Those who have not been born again will also die the second death, spiritual death, separated from God forever. We who have been born again with everlasting life will never perish John 3:16.

Fellowship Relationship is permanent, fellowship is temporary. Relationship is based on birth, fellowship is based on behavior.

Prayer:  Father, bless You children reading this. Give them that sweet fellowship with You and let them have a bucket full of the fruit of the Spirit, in Jesus name

You are LOVED by God and me, all because of Calvary, sumner
