It is the bond of common purpose and devotion that binds Christians together and to Christ. Fellowship with Christ issues in fellowship with believers (1 John 1:3, 6-7; 1 Cor. 10:16-17). Fellowship with the Lord results in sharing His sufferings (Phil. 2:5-8; 3:10; Col. 1:24). Fellowship included financial support. Paul used the term koinonia to denote financial contributions he was collecting from Gentile believers to take to Jerusalem for relief of the saints who lived there (Romans 15:26-27; 2 Cor. 8:4; 9:13). Everyone offered what they were able to offer to benefit others: Jewish Christians, their spiritual blessings; Gentile Christians, their material blessings. Such mutual sharing of one's blessings is a clear and profound expression of Christian fellowship. Another biblical meaning of fellowship is found in the Lord's Supper. In the Lord's Supper, the cup is "communion of the blood of Christ," and the bread, "communion of the body of Christ" (1 Cor. 10:16). Such communion could not be shared with both Christ and other gods or supernatural beings, so believers do not partake in pagan religious meals where they would share "fellowship" with evil, supernatural forces, or demons (1 Cor. 10:19-21).
The concept of fellowship is mentioned in The Bible to emphasize the importance of believers coming together to support one another, share in faith, and worship God. It promotes unity, love, encouragement, and mutual care within the faith community. It is a reminder of the shared bond and relationship believers have with God and with one another.
