The fellowship of life has two aspects: the vertical aspect (our fellowship with God as the Spirit) and the horizontal aspect (our fellowship with the fellow brothers and sisters in spirit).

Being Preserved in the Fellowship of Life by the Sense of Life in our Mingled Spirit
It is so wonderful that we can experience a foretaste of the New Jerusalem today in our Christian life and church life! We can enjoy and experience the daily practical living in oneness with the Lord according to the sense of life so that we may be in the fellowship of life, thus experiencing a […]
