What does the Bible say about fellowship in the church?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that true fellowship is found in the Gospel and Jesus Christ, rather than solely in church membership.
Fellowship among believers is rooted in the bond of the Gospel and the shared grace found in Christ. Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 1:9 highlight that we are called into fellowship with Jesus, emphasizing the spiritual connection that transcends formal church membership. True Christian fellowship is characterized by mutual support, love, and encouragement, as seen in passages like Romans 12, which speaks to being kindly affectioned and rejoicing together in hope. This fellowship is enriched through the growth in truth as believers engage in personal study and share their understanding with one another.
