THE FELLOWSHIP WE HAVE IN THE LORD

1 John 1:3

[Background: please read the entire epistle.]

“We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.”

1. In the passage the word "fellowship" is repeated twice (3). What does "fellowship" mean?

2. Verse 3 reads, "We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ." What does this passage indicate about the way to lead people to the Lord? 

3. Read verse 3 again and think about the following expressions:

1) We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard;

2) so that you also may have fellowship with us; and

3) And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
