That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. - 1 John 1:3
What is it that makes believers one? What is the one thing that makes Christianity work as a living organism? What is the tie that binds all of this together? The scriptures declare it; "Christ in you, the hope of glory."When a young couple that was going to get married came to me and asked "how they could be more compatible" the answer was easy, "see Jesus in each other." It is the only tie that will ever work in any situation. People are not in fellowship because of what they believe, there may be some "seeing eye to eye" as they say. But that is not fellowship, fellowship comes from an understanding of Christ being in every born again believer. "Our fellowship is with the Father and the Son" John said.
The only place fellowship can be found is "in Christ." You will not have fellowship or a fellowship outside of Christ, you can be led to think what you have is based on scripture and a God thing. But time may beg to differ, because nothing is designed to work outside of Christ, nothing works outside of Christ. It is like your life, you only have one life and that life is Christ. Somehow we see ourselves as separate from Christ and now I'm saved Christ is just kind of attached somehow to me. No sound knowledge of who you really are, the understanding of Christ as life goes wanting, and the believer stays in the struggles of their theology.
Compatibility will come to the believer who can see the Christ in them as their life. When I understand the life I now live in the flesh is a non-separated life caused by a birthing (born again). My theology will be put on a shelf in view of what God has done, and I can be free to understand the things of God "yeah the deep things of God." What is the deep things of God, it is Christ in you, you cannot get any deeper than "Christ in you" understanding. Glory
