Elementary

Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

Philemon 6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

There is one thing which is elementary to these verses. In this I mean one thing has all these verses in common. I suspect you already know what that one word. It is fellowship.

Hebrews 10:22-25 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Do you see that day approaching? Even if you do not, the benefits of fellowship, its design, intent and effectual workings need attention. It is you who believe that are called to fellowship and everything that entails.

Fellowship is where love and grace embrace.
