What does the Bible say about communion with Jesus?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible emphasizes that believers have deep communion with Jesus, as seen in John 17:23, highlighting His closeness and the joy of fellowship.

In John 17:23, Jesus expresses the profound union that exists between Himself and believers, underscoring that this relationship is not merely functional but deeply relational. This communion is characterized by an abundance of grace, where the depths and breadth of our relationship with Christ are likened to a vast channel of living water, inviting us into intimate fellowship with Him. The beauty of this relationship is that Christ resides within us, enabling perpetual interaction and spiritual nourishment.

Moreover, Spurgeon encourages believers to recognize the privilege of such communion. Rather than a mere distant connection, it is a profound and welcoming presence, likened to residing next door. Each believer is invited to enter this city of communion through various gates made of pearls, symbolizing the richness of Christ’s grace and accessibility. Thus, our daily lives should be marked by an awareness of His proximity, allowing our hearts to be open to enjoy this fellowship constantly.
