We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

It is only in proportion as the Christian manifests the fruit of a genuine conversion that he is entitled to regard himself and be regarded by others as one of the called and elect of God. It is just in proportion as we add to our faith the other Christian graces that we have solid ground on which to rest in the assurance we belong to the family of Christ. It is not those who are governed by self-will, but “as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Rom. 8:14).

One of the distinctive features of Christianity is the importance we give for fellowship. The entire Christian life is a life of relationship. Jn.17:5. Relationship with Christ brings us in to fellowship with the Father and the Holy Spirit and that in turn in to our
fellowship with one another. 1Jn. 1:3. Both the relationship goes hand in hand. We can not have one with out the other. John says, But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another. 1Jn.1:7a. Thats why backslidden Hebrew believers forsook fellowship. Heb.10:25

<div class=MsoNormal style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN: 0in 0in

True child of God will search for fellow believers. In Acts 9 we see about the effort of Saul of Tarsus to have fellowship with the saints in Jerusalem.

<FONT face="Times New
Roman" size=3>He has just reached the city from Damascus where he met with the Lord. The believers of Jerusalem knew about him only as a Jewish fanatic who persecuted Christians. Luke writes that, He tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple. Act.9:26

We can well imagine Saul going to each house and how the scared believers closed doors for him. Nevertheless he was not offended by their unwillingness to accept him. He tried, went more houses, and made every effort to have fellowship with the saints. Do we have this zeal for finding a co-believer to have fellowship with them?

Through out his life Saul/Paul had this passion. To Romans he wrote later, For I long to see you, that I may impart to you, some spiritual gift, so that you may be established-that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. Rom.1:11, 12.

Notice the result of fellowship Paul refers here: mutual edification and <SPAN style="COLOR:
red">encouragement. Right fellowship is a blessing for each other. No wonder the Hebrew writes exhorts, Not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. Heb.10:25. There is growth, joy and life. Is it true in our fellowship?

Long to be with one another sharing our joy and our life in the Lord. Extend a hand of fellowship to the simple saints like Saul of Tarsus who long for it. It is there the Lord Commands blessings!

They were instructed to pitch their tents in the allotted place according to their tribes, around the Tabernacle.

Judah etc. on the East side, Reuben etc. on the South side, Ephraim etc. on the West side and Dan etc. on the North side.

Thus every tent of the families of Israel was pitched facing the Tabernacle, showing in the type that the Tabernacle, (for us the Local Church), was central to every aspect of their lives.

The local church should also occupy a similar place of importance in the lives of those who are received into its fellowship.

All of the gatherings of that assembly would be well attended, (Heb. 10:25)

As each day ends and the sun sinks beneath the Western horizon, another day has passed into history, into eternity, never to come again. Opportunities that we have failed to grasp have gone forever.

The name Lebanon means "whiteness". The winds that sweep down from that quarter are icy cold.
