Excerpt from Sermons on Christian Communion: Designed to Promote the Growth of the Religious Affections Kowom'a, fellowship, 1 John i. 3. Truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son.' In this passage kol vcom'a-(koindnia) means -a joint participation of something with others. The same word also signifies a fellowship, or company of men joined together thy a common bond, for the purpose of obtaining certain advantages by means of their union. Among the heathens there were a variety of such fellowships, many of them for the purpose of celebrating the mysteries or secret wor ship of their gods. The particular god in honor of whom the fellowship was instituted was considered as the head of it, and the author of the benefits which the associated expected to derive from their fellowship in his worship. In this sense the word fellowship is with great propriety applied to the disciples of Christ, united, by their common faith, into one society or church for worshipping the only true God, through the mediation of his Son Jesus Christ, and for receiving from him through the same medi ation the great blessings of protection and direction in this life, and of pardon and eternal happiness in the world to come. Agreeably to this account of Christian fellowship, the Apostle, in this third verse, contrasts the heads thereof with the heads of the heathen fellowship, Truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son.'
