Explain how Bible study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication.
-
Bible study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication because in studying the Bible (God’s Word) He speaks to us.
In Fellowship we speak about Him to others who are saved and encourage us or we can share the Good News with those who are not saved.
In Prayer, we talk to God.
In all three God by His Spirit communes with us and shapes us into the image of Him. -
To me Bible study is a way to get to know God’s Word as He speaks to you. Fellowship is sharing your belief and joy in Christ with other believers. Prayer is a very private, quiet time or a conversation between the Lord and me. Prayer can be a time for confession, thanks, uplifting others, asking His help, praise.
-
We study the Bible to get to know the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We share this fellow believers and non believers. Through Prayer we are always with Jesus.
-
In Bible study, I can do this on my own or with my spouse or people at church. There are so many types of Bible studies to choose from. In prayer, that is a personal, private relationship with God. In Fellowship, I come together with like-minded Christians to grow spiritually, in community, and in faith. I have others who stand by me, support me and hold me accountable for my beliefs. I truly believe all are necessary for a strong relationship with God.

Bible study is exactly that – it’s consistent time in His word, studying the scriptures. It’s how we learn!
Fellowship is where we come together as fellow believers in Christ, and encourage one another as we seek to advance His Kingdom.
Prayer is our intimate, personal relationship with Jesus. This is how we directly communicate with the One in whom we have placed our trust.
