    Biblical Fellowship: Koinonia
    In classical Greek, koinonia meant to be joined in partnership or ______________________________________
    an association. ______________________________________

    Biblical Fellowship is 3 things: (1 Corinthians 1:9-10, ______________________________________


    Philemon 1:4-7) ______________________________________
    1. ________________ because we share, with each other, ______________________________________
    a common ground or experience.
    ______________________________________
    2. ________________ because we are sharing with others
    what we ourselves have. ______________________________________
    3. ________________ because we are sharing in what ______________________________________
    others have.
    ______________________________________
    Koinonia is only possible with others who are in Christ. ______________________________________
    ______________________________________
    1. Begins with a ________________ relationship.

    (1 John 1:5-6, 1 Corinthians 10:16,
    2 Corinthians 13:14) ______________________________________
    ______________________________________
    2. Results in ________________ relationships. ______________________________________
    (1 John 5-7)
    ______________________________________
    Koinonia is impossible with others who are separated from ______________________________________
    God. ______________________________________

    3. _______________ (Romans 16:17) ______________________________________
    ______________________________________
    Koinonia
    Is a relationship of active participation with other Christ followers ______________________________________
    that involves an attitude of generously sharing all that we are
    and all that we have.
    Koinonia

    This Greek word koinonia is difficult to translate.

    "Fellowship" means, for many, simply the enjoyment of the


    company of other Christians: "sharing” usually implies mutual
    giving and receiving of material things; "interchange" itself,
    useful for highlighting the way koinonia functions, seems a bit
    mechanical. The idea we need to grasp - the theme that
    dominates the letter - is that, in Christ, Christians not only
    belong to one another but actually become mutually identified,
    truly rejoicing with the happy and genuinely weeping with the
    sad ...

    Koinonia is part of the truth about the body of Christ. All are
    bound together in a mutual bond that makes our much-prized
    individualism look shallow and petty. This fundamental meaning
    of koinonia best explains its other uses, particularly that of
    "generosity" or "almsgiving"...

    Christians give to one another because they belong to one


    another
