“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” (1 Cor.1:9; KJV). The word called means invited or called. The word fellowship is the Greek word koinonia, which means intimate fellowship.

Prior to Christs death and resurrection only a few selected people were able to enjoy an intimate relationship with God. God said of Moses: “I speak with him face to face” (Num 12:8). Jesus poured himself into his disciples during his earthly ministry (John 13:1-7). When Jesus died on the cross the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom by God (Matt 27:51). By his sacrifice Christ won forgiveness for us (Col 1:14) and the way was opened for his people to enter into the very thrown room of God. “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb 4:16).  

Isn’t it great that God, the creator of the universe, has invited us to have this intimate fellowship with him through Jesus? “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).  Let`s not ignore the invitation, and remember, we don’t have to fellowship at a specific time, we can enter in at any and every time; whenever we want to.
