Fellowship with Christ

The daughters of kings are among your honored women; the queen stands at your right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir. …

But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?” …

For where two or three gather together in My name, there am I with them.”

“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”

But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And this bread, which I will give for the life of the world, is My flesh.” …

On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. …

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard. …

…that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. …

And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”

Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.

Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root,

…so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another.

God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

“Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will destroy them both. The body is not intended for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. …

But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit.

Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?

The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.

Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.

Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you fail the test?

For we are members of His body.

This mystery is profound, but I am speaking about Christ and the church.

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.

For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.

As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.

And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.

No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him.

Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.

By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.

Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me.
