Fellowship Through the Holy Spirit
CHRIST not only prayed thus but he made ample provision for the fulfillment of his prayer. "I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one." "If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him; but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." "If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." John 14 : 15–17, 23. Thus "our fellowship is" formed "with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ." And this is the only possible way in which we can have true fellowship one with another. For if this man has, by the Holy Spirit, fellowship with the Father and with the Son; and if that man has, by the Holy Spirit, fellowship with the Father and with the Son, they must have fellowship one with another, for the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are one; and those who have fellowship with these must be one likewise.
