William VanDoodewaard writes:
What is communion with God? In the first epistle of John we are told that Christians fellowship with “the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.” (1 John 1:3) The Christians of John’s day were marginalized, despised, and persecuted. Why would anyone want to become a Christian? Yet, for all the apparent disadvantages, it was not only desirable, but honourable and glorious. “Truly,” John says, “our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.”
