March 29 - Koinonia – Joint-Heirs With Christ
“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” – 1 Corinthians 1:9
The Greek word for fellowship is “koinonia,” which means “partnership or intercourse.” Fellowship is a strong bond and union between people. We have “koinonia” fellowship with the Father and His Son Jesus Christ, to whom was given all authority in heaven and earth because it was His in the beginning. We have “koinonia” with the Father and Jesus Christ. What an awesome thought to think that the Creator of the heavens and earth, who created us from the dust of the ground, who chose to not only “dwell” with us, but “dwell” in us. The Holy Spirit lives in every believer so that they will know that the promise of the Father is true.
Not only are we in fellowship with God through His Holy Spirit, but we are joint-heirs with Christ. Paul says, “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, the heirs – heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.” (Romans 8:16 – 17) How can we any longer fear the world or walk in defeat? How can we, who are joint heirs with the very Son of God who created all things by the word of His mouth, walk according the principles of this present age. This world is passing away and our fellowship with the Father is going to be eternal and glorious. Let us not walk in darkness, but let us fellowship with one another and remember who we are, “children of God” and “joint heirs of Christ.”
