(Isa. 62.5).
The above verse indicates at once that the object of all His dealing with us is fellowship with Himself. That goal, towards which He is drawing us on step by step, so that we cannot draw back, is the highest joy of perfect oneness and union with our Lord. The bible says: ‘the bridegroom rejoices over the bride’. That speaks of the pure that rises only from a fellowship of life, which is the gift of God.
God’s purpose in giving Eve to Adam as a companion was for fellowship. God wants us all to have that true fellowship. This word fellowship is a unique word in the bible and no one can truly understand it who is not born again. The fellowship with the father and the son is wholly and solely and entirely for those who have received new life from Him, and who abide with Him and in Him forever and ever. That is how we define the love of God. It is the life of God flowing into us and our life flowing towards God. True fellowship is mutual and will bring into us a real divine likeness and conformity to the image of His Son.
