“So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.”
1 John 1:6-7 NLT

I think it’s interesting that these verses directly relate fellowship with God and fellowship with each other. You can’t have one without the other. It will be more obvious if you think about how far the world has separated themselves from the Lord . That distancing from God has led to a world void of Love and filled with so much hate. The destruction of the family worldwide is another symptom of the absence of God. True fellowship can only happen with a personal relationship with Jesus and the world will not be filled with peace until it turns to the one that died for us.
Dear Lord, this world needs you now more than ever before. Fellowship with others, peace in our lives can only happen when we draw closer to you. We need you in the center of our lives. Lord, fill us with your spirit. Fill us with your grace, mercy, and strength to treat others with your perfect love. Amen!
