Explain how Bible study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication.
-
God speaks through all of them. When I study the Bible I grow in my understanding and love for the Lord. God often speaks into my life through my family and friends in Christ. Then when I am deeply connected in prayer, I can sense the leadings of the Lord. All three work separate yet together to confirm what God is doing in our lives.
-
The Bible is the revealed word of God. His love story to us, so we can know Him and grow in knowledge of Him. In prayer I learn to come before God to listen, to worship, to praise, to share my heart, to ask, to connect to God through the Holy Spirit and Christ, deepening the bond. In fellowship I share my journey with others, both believers and non-believers, building the Kingdom through discipleship and witnessing.
-
The Bible is God’s written Word to us and He speaks through it. We talk to God in prayer and talk to others about God.
-
Studying the Bible is God’s primary form of communication to us. The Bible is his words written down my man for us to read, study, understand and apply to our lives. Prayer is how we talk to God. We are able to take any and everything to Him. The good and bad. Praises and concerns. Fellowship is a way we can grow and learn from each other. It’s important we surround ourselves with other followers of Christ to help keep us accountable, and so we can help keep them accountable as well. We must remain in fellowship with the body so we can all strengthen one another.

This is how we grow in the physical realm. We have the tangible word of God, we have other believers to talk with and grow deeper with and we have prayer as a way of communicating directly to our Jesus!
