Ephesians 2:5-6 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) (6) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
A HEAVENLY PLACE IS A PLACE OF FELLOWSHIP
He hath raised us up together. While we can worship and become close to God alone we truly need to have fellowship with other Christians. We need to have others to serve and minister too as well has have others around us to support us and to gain strength from.
Many times I have been struggling with something in my life and honestly sometimes not doing very well with it and then someone would help me with my burden. I could not count the times when going through difficulty that praying with someone or sometimes just an encouraging word from someone would seem to take the burden of the world off my shoulders.
When we talk of church fellowships today we often think of a meal but there is a much stronger and meaningful fellowship. It is knowing we have an eternal relationship with God and with one another and that we are all in this together.
When you are seeking to sit in Heavenly places it is so much nicer not to have to sit alone. Share the experience with your brothers and sisters in Christ.
