I- THE CONDITION OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP a. Word of lifev.1 the life was manifested...and was manifested unto usv.2 They must received this Word as their Savior. Without acknowledging Jesus Christ as their Savior his/her fellowship is nothing they have only gathering but no true fellowship with God. John 1:1, 3-4; 9-10; 11-13, 14 b. Witnesses of Eternal lifev.2 bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life I John 5:12-13 If someone is a believer of the Lord Jesus Christ he/she must be a witness and share to others about Him so others can know and received the free gift of eternal life. v.3 declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us

II- THE COMFORT OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP a. Evidence of Christian fellowshipv.3 and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ What an amazing proof that we a human being have a fellowship with the Creator, Redeemer, Provider, Healer, Friend and Lover none other than our Beloved heavenly Father and His Begotten Son Jesus Christ. b. Excitement of Christian Fellowshipv.4 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full Each Christian should live with the joy of salvation and enjoy fellowship with one another, daily experiencing the victorious Christian living. No problem or pressures in life should and could remove the joy in you heart. Only sin can hinder that joy of salvation.

III- THE CLEAN CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP a. The Requirementv.5 God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all v.6 If we say, that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie Sin can breaks our fellowship with God--Psalm 51:12. Our iniquities can blocked our fellowship with the Holy God. God is Holy and we must be holy. We are wasting our time in Christian gathering with beautiful music, wellarranged programs, large crowds, great sermons when we have unconfessed sin, compromising with the practices of the world. Ephesians 5:10-11 b. The Result 1. Fellowship with Christiansv.7 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another If you are right with God you will join and find a way to fellowship with other believers in your local church. Don't isolate yourself from fellow Christians. Your fellowship with God manifests in your fellowship with other believer. 2. Forgiven and Cleansedv.7 and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. You must settle yourself first before God before busy fellowshipping with fellow believers. We must be right with God before spending time with others pretentiously. I John 1:9
