Fellowship With God and One Another

How can we have confidence before God that we are genuine Christians? How can we have rich fellowship with other believers? John provides a remedy in both these areas by encouraging obedience to Christ's commands. Those who truly know God walk in the light, as He is in the light. And those that walk in the light enjoy Christian fellowship with other saints. This fellowship we have with one another is God-given and is a means God uses in our lives to fight sin and grow in holiness. Thank the Lord that through Christ we have fellowship with Him and one another.
