What does the Bible say about fellowship in the gospel?

Answered in 12 sources

The Bible teaches that true fellowship in the gospel is rooted in the shared love for Christ and the work of redemption He accomplished.

According to Scripture, particularly in Philippians, true fellowship, or koinonia, is a partnership that stems from a common desire to see Christ exalted. This fellowship is characterized by love for one another and a commitment to follow Christ's way. Paul emphasizes that such bonds are formed through the faithful work of Christ in believers and are essential to evidence of one's faith. Without brotherly love, one cannot claim to truly know God, as John teaches in his epistles. The absence of this love indicates that a genuine work of God is lacking in one's heart.
