Fragment: Fellowship With Himself

 •  1 min. read  •  grade level: 6
The great purpose of God in all His dealings in grace is to bring us and to bring us individually, too into fellowship with Himself. “Truly our fellowship is with the Father. ” Thus we have the full knowledge of God as far as it can be known, and that in full communion with Himself. It is not in the way of creation; that is, not merely as creatures, for we are made partakers of the Holy Spirit that there may be power. “We dwell in Him, and He in us.” There cannot be anything more intimate.
J. N. Darby (from Lectures on First John)
