Fellowship Doing things together and having things in common within the Christian community. The emphasis is on shared participation in the Christian life rather than simply meeting together. Christians are not to live isolated lives but to find mutual encouragement and support in each other. One who has "fellowship" with Christ and other Christians walks in the light. Those who cease to walk in the light (i.e., follow the way of Christ) lose fellowship with the church and a right relationship with God (1 Jn 1:6-10). Improper fellowship – 1 Cor chapter 5.
