Communion with God is a deeply enriching and satisfying spiritual experience for the human soul. In 1 John 1:3, the Bible says, “What we have seen and heard, these we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.” So how can we experience this communion with God?
First, we need to recognize that fellowship with God is a personal and intimate relationship. As with any relationship, fellowship requires time and attention. We must take time to read the Bible, which is the Word of God, to hear his voice and know his teachings. Furthermore, prayer is a powerful way to establish and maintain fellowship with God. We should pray often, both in times of joy and in times of trouble, sharing our needs and thanking God for his blessings.
Another important aspect of fellowship with God is repentance and confession of sins. When we repent of our sins and confess them to God, He forgives us and cleanses us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). This allows us to be in a state of purity before God and thus approach Him with a sincere heart.
Finally, communion with God also involves service and love for others. When we love and serve others, we are reflecting God’s love and glorifying his name. The Bible says in 1 John 4:12, “No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.”
In short, fellowship with God is achieved through Bible reading, prayer, repentance and confession of sins, and love and service to others. When we follow these principles, we can be confident that we are experiencing deep and meaningful fellowship with God.
