Fellowship With The Eternal

[b] ****1John1:2 (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us); 1:3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 1:4 And we write these things to you, that our joy may be fulfilled.
[/b]

What can man do if he has no fellowship with dead? He builds for himself and others lasting monuments to recall their memories of the deceased. Yes, when fellowship lacks, when its lost icons, and idols are created. Religion is an idol, replacing the fellowship lost for Christian's with the Father and Son by Spirit and truth. You see, if one has fellowship with the Spirit, one needs nothing to know the truth of the person.

1 John 2:20 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.{Or, "know what is true." Or, "know all things."}

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

Religion is a relationship with a bible, a teacher, an object, or by veneration of a building, or in the history of the religion, but its not truth and Spirit. Subsequently, to work within a religion to find the truth of who God's children are is an impossibility! It looking where those without a fellowship with the life, Christ Jesus try to explain him legally from a thought from their bibles, or a doctrine.

John.5:37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
5:38 You don't have his word living in you; because you don't believe him whom he sent. 5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. 5:40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life. 5:41 I don't receive glory from men.

Here we have stumbled once again upon why John declared his message so dynamically in Spirit because these brothers and sisters were putting letters of prominent brothers as equal to their relationship with Christ, the life in Spirit and truth second place. There can be nothing less than fellowship with Christ the eternal life if we want to feed on the bread of life which gives us the fruit of the Spirit in our being allowed through the eternal to associate with God the Father.

John.15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
15:2 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 15:3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 15:4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. 15:5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 15:6 If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

Now the stage is set the life had never been revealed to mankind before the eternal came to our earth, no one had seen and touched eternal life until Christ appeared in the flesh, Christ being the sinless lamb of God, he had God's own life indwelling him, he had eternal life in him. He was a light that no prophet had seen or felt like Christ Jesus. Christ did not have to go some where to be in contact with his own life, yes! Christ life was his Fathers life these brothers life, is Christ life, making them part of God's life there is no where to go! No writings had eternal life indwelling them, writings could encourage a son of God to put trust in the life, but it could not replace the life. How can our own body replace the life in it by attending a religious meeting?

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

John 5:26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

John 1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

1 John 5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

It cannot! Our life is dependent upon the life of the body, hence, the life of Christ is the life of the body, his body, we need nothing to feed us, a religion, a book, a building, a writing once we get that in perfect contexts we get the point of John's letter. It is the mind of the body Christ that directs and feeds the body, but we can enslave Christ into other false headship where we listen to a human reading what the life speaks and says according to a religion doctrine, or we can put faith in Christ alone and walk in the truth, the light.

1 John 3:24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

1 John 4:13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

1 John 5:6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

The frame work is written by Holy Spirit, but without fellowship of the eternal, Spirit, its not truth, it is dead works, being explained by another person who is not eternal, an impossibility which promotes yeast teachings and doctrines that cannot give us life. Subsequently, John makes profound statements with no wiggle room, if a person is not in Spirit, the eternal life, Christ, John statements kills the flesh giving it no hope of righteousness, which is sinlessness.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

John's writing removes false religion, it strips all authority from the power of the flesh and puts our salvation and relationship with life, squarely where God himself places our eternal life in Christ Jesus. Where does on go higher, Christ is raised he is seated at God's right-hand. The body received the same, as Christ did upon earth in his flesh, where Christ was, is where true worship of God was found, not in some mountain, or building, or in the seas, we need not ask: “Who will go into heaven to bring Christ down, or the depth of sea to bring him up?”

Rom."Don't say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'{Deuteronomy 30:12} (that is, to bring Christ down);
10:7 or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?'{Deuteronomy 30:13} (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)" 10:8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;"{Deuteronomy 30:14} that is, the word of faith, which we preach: 10:9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10:10 For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 10:11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed."{Isaiah 28:16}

No! No! No! He is in you, he is your mouth the Spirit speaks through, he is in your heart, he is your life manifesting the light of his own life. Do we have faith in the Spirit, the eternal, or dead things? Where is your life, in a book, in a prophesy, in a truth uncovered by some research, or is what dwells in you eternal life?

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

Colossians 3:1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 3:2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.

Ephesians 1:21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come.

Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
