2 John 1:9 - Fellowship with God

“For if you wander beyond the teaching of Christ, you will not have fellowship with God. But if you continue in the teaching of Christ, you will have fellowship with both the Father and the Son.”

2 John 1:9

It is so important that we have fellowship with God. He wants our friendship, love, respect and company. He wants us to be completely associated with Him. He wants us to walk in a partnership with Him as we go about our every day lives. And to do this, it is very important for us to continue in the teaching of Jesus Christ. If we continue in His teachings, we will have fellowship with both the Father and the Son. This is what really matters in this life. This means that we need to be “walking the walk,” and not just “talking the talk.” It is not just what we “know” that makes us right with Him, it is what we “do.” Actions speak louder than words. We need to be “walking” in the light as He is in the light. We can’t be dabbling in darkness and expect to be walking in the fellowship of Christ. 1 John 1:6 says “So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness. We are not living in the truth.” Live in the truth. Continue in the teaching of Jesus Christ. Walk in the light. Treasure the fellowship you have with both the Father and the Son. You will be blessed.

Father, may I always continue in the teaching of Christ. It is my hearts desire that I forever have and enjoy fellowship with You. Keep me in the light as You are in the light. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
