The Importance of Fellowship
...not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:25
This Scripture is vitally important. Paul taught the duty of Christian fellowship. Fellowship is a way in which we can draw near to each other. What a blessing it is to be together in church. We can fellowship and unite with brothers and sisters in Christ who attend our church. Psalm 133:1 expresses the blessedness of Christian fellowship: Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
When we are in constant fellowship with other believers, it helps us to hold fast, as we seek the Lord together, and to stay accountable to each other. No man is an island, so do not isolate yourself. The Bible wisely states: A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment (Proverbs 18:1). We need each other.
What are the benefits of Christian fellowship? We can exhort one another. The word exhort means “to admonish.” This becomes a mutual encouragement when we assemble together, especially in light of the Day approaching. What Day is this? The word Day is speaking of the last day of this present age, the Day Christ will return from heaven, raise the dead, hold the final judgment, and perfect His kingdom.
In Acts 2:42, we find a good pattern of behavior for us to follow: And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. If you are lacking in any of these areas in your Christian walk, then you are not well-balanced. Strengthen your walk in Christ with other believers by being in the Word, fellowshipping, having communion together, and having unified prayer.
Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.
