Being Connected

The apostle John wrote, “I write these things to you that you might have fellowship with us, and our fellowship is with God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ.”  God has called us into fellowship with Himself  through his Son, Jesus Christ; but this fellowship does not stop there. Through our reconnection with God, we can now connect with one another. Sin has separated us from God and that separation has created a separation between us and our neighbor.  Jesus has bridged that separation by an act of grace at the cross. Being reunited with God in Christ we are reconnected with one another. Our lives should reflect this unity with God by living in harmony with one another. If we are living through Christ we will live at peace with one another and can learn to serve one another in love.
