Through His Blood
Our Fellowship
1John 1:7
but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his
Son cleanseth us from all sin.(KJV)
"Fellowship" is from the Greek noun koinonia, also meaning communion, partnership, a sharing, oneness.
Of light
"The light" is God's word. It is a seed by which we are born again (Jas.1:17-18), and a path for our heart and mind to walk (Ps.119:105) as a company of saints, together reflecting
His light in a world of darkness (Eph.5:8-10).
Of blood
The blood is the sin cleansing power wrought by Christ's substitutionary death (Matt.26:28, Heb.9:12-14). It washes away our sins so that we are fully and forever accepted in the beloved (Col.1:12-14). We need only once receive the blood bath at the
gate of salvation (Jn.13:8, Tit.3:5, Rev.1:5), but we need daily to receive spiritual foot washings in order to maintain our 'koinonia'; as we grow in the grace of the Spirit of Christ (Jn.13:10, Gal.6:18).
