If we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another.
1 JOHN 1:7
Because you are in the light of God's Grace, you have the joy of celebrating divine life with others. The biblical word fellowship denotes intimate participation with each other.
This kind of community was a foundational aspect of the early church. The second chapter of Acts portray a group of people who laughed and loved, who shared meal and money ; people who took seriously the practice of partying under the dimension of God's Spirit. That we should fully affirm and speak to it "joy" is the serious business of heaven. "
A spirit of carefree, lighted hearted, God-centered Celebration is often conspicuously absent in the lives of many in the modern church. When did we begin to take ourselves seriously? What urgent matters have we allowed to rob us of our playful spirit? We are going to live forever. How important can things really be that won't even he remembered a hundred years from now?
There's no doubt about it, most of us need to lighten up. Would you like to enjoy life more? Find others who love Jesus too and have fun together. It's the sort of thing that delights your heavenly Father when He sees it.
