TRUE FELLOWSHIP, WASHING US FROM ALL SIN
- By Frank Ehinze
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
- 1 John 1:7
The centre and significance of every fellowship we have with God is that, the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. Now, the blood of Jesus did not only cleanse us from sin, it is still cleansing us from all the sin and mistake that still makes us think we are not qualified to stand before God. It is an everlasting cleansing. It means, you can never be dirty as long as you are in Christ Jesus, even the sin of your parents has nothing to do with you, for you are washed with the blood. The blood of Jesus does not care to know how indisciplined you are, all it is concerned with is that whenever you receive it through faith in Jesus, and it finds sin in you, it cleanses or washes you clean. It means, in Christ, we cannot be found with sin. Little wonder 1 John 3:9 says, "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."
However, all these continuous washing is in continuous fellowship with God, and God with us. Fellowship with God is not totally centred on prayers, praises and worship in songs. In fact, it is possible to pray, fast, worship and praise in song, and yet not have fellowship with God. Fellowship is a consciousness of walking in the light as God is in the light, it is recognizing that we are one with God, it is to think same way God thinks, to speak what He speaks, to believe what He believes, to do what He does, and to see others the way He sees them. Our theme verse opens to us when it is rightly known that we have fellowship with God, it is when we walk in light as God is in the light. Know that, the day you received Christ, you were called into light, Hence, you were called into fellowship with the Father, where you enjoy Him, and He enjoys you. 1 Peter 2:9 says, "...that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:" You can see that fellowship is to show and testify of God's goodness of salvation. It is showing forth the good news to all creatures, of how the blood of Jesus cleanses you from all sins.
This is what it means to walk in light,
"He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes."
- 1 John 2:10-11
To walk in light is to walk in love, both to those who deserve your love, and to those who do not, to the annoying and the arrogant. You are in fellowship with God, and God is in fellowship with you when you love your neighbour. It means, there will be no hindrance to hear God's voice, you will not be far from God, even your sins are washed away. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for I have fellowship with you, because I walk in love as you are love, I am washed from my sin by the blood of Jesus. Amen!
