SONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP
1. SONSHIP IS RECEIVED BY FAITH: Sonship is not earned by good works; it is received through faith in Jesus Christ. When you believe in Christ, confess Him as Lord, and receive Him, you become a child of God.
■ John 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become SONS OF GOD, to those who believe in His name.”
■ Galatians 3:26 “For you are all SONS OF GOD through faith in Christ Jesus.”
2. FELLOWSHIP IS MAINTAINED BY DAILY WALKING WITH GOD: Fellowship is our daily communion and walk with God, maintained through holiness, prayer, meditation on His Word, and obedience.
A believer who falls into sin does not automatically lose his SONSHIP, but the sin will definitely affect his FELLOWSHIP with God. He does not need to run away from God; instead, he should quickly run to Him to repent and confess his sin, so as to restore his fellowship with God.
■ 1 John 1:6–7 “If we say that we have FELLOWSHIP with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another…”
■ 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
