24-0915: The essence of the Christian life is one of fellowship with God through Jesus Christ. The letter of First John opens in a unique manner characteristic of the Apostle John’s writing. In his introduction he reveals how we have life with God, and how real and eternal this life truly is because the One who sources it is real and eternal. In this message, Pastor Lane outlines five characteristics of fellowship, our life with God, to show how the eternal One who came from heaven to us has given us eternal life with Him. We pray this message helps and encourages.
