Explain how Bible study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication.
They are different forms of spiritual communications as in
1. Bible study is for God to tell us who He is – characters/ His works in people of the past, on us now and future, His love for us and expectations of us, His SOP (standard operating procedure) for our living and His assurance of our hope for the future.
2. Fellowship – Holy Spirit nudging us to prepare for our eternal worship in heaven – with the Holy Spirit and our God’s created (brothers and sisters), and we practice how to live and communicate with them now – love them, forgive them, worship together, enjoy the maturing journey in God’s joy and peace.
3. Prayer – a dialogue with God, enabled by the Holy Spirit. -
As described in the video, the three help in communication with the Lord and with fellow believers. Of course, prayer is speaking with God and the Bible explains to us who He is. We grow in fellowship with other believers by gathering to study the Scripture and to either help others or be helped by others, to grow in the faith.
-
Bible Study teaches us how to live the way God wants us to lives. Fellowship helps us grow in a community of likeminded people, while prayer helps us lift up those who have spiritual needs
-
All three are intertwined. You need all three to fully grow in the faith and trust that God will lead you to the place He wants you
-
Bible study, prayer and fellowship are different because they are different ways to connect with our Lord and Saviour and others who believe in Jesus Christ as we/I do. Bible study is his word to us to learn about him and his ways to grow in our relationship with him. That is ultimately what Jesus wants with us, that one on one relationship. Prayer is also one on one, our alone time with him. We can talk to him all day and ask him anything, because he is always there and we are never alone. Fellowship with others is also a connection to him and with him. It feeds our spirit, lifts us up so we can lift up others. Having prayer time fellowship and bible study with others feeds our spirit and helps us grow to be a mature christian. We have 3 ways to connect to others and Jesus. How awesome is that. What a provision!
