“Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God (living in unbroken fellowship with him) in Christ Jesus” (Rom 6:11; AMPC). Powerful words! Unbroken fellowship with God, not just in the “sweet by and by” but now, today! Romans chapter 6, verses 1-11 are talking about baptism. When we are baptized, we symbolically share the death of Jesus, we die to sin and we also share the resurrection of Jesus, living a new life with Him. Another aspect of unbroken fellowship with God is “abiding.” 1 John 3:6 tells us that, “No one who abides in Him (who lives and remains in communion with and in obedience to Him – deliberately, knowingly and habitually) commits (practices) sin” (AMPC). In other words, if we are truly abiding in God, we will not deliberately sin, and when we do slip up, we can immediately confess our sins, knowing that God will forgive us right away and restore fellowship with Him (1 John 1:9). God is always with us, He never leaves us (Heb 13:5) but we need to stay connected to him through prayer, Bible reading and worship. As you know, if we want to have unbroken fellowship with God it’s not just a Sunday morning thing but constant communion throughout the day. I understand we have jobs to go to and stuff to do but we can still be conscious of God as we do these things. Increasing our fellowship with God doesn’t happen overnight, it develops over a lifetime. I’m reminded of Enoch who, “walked with God” (Gen5:22). That’s what I want, how about you?
