Explain how Bible study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication.

When I do a bible study I am reading the word of God and learning what I need to be a Christian. I also pray and talk to god to help e understand his word. Both of these bring me closer. And when I talk t9 others about the Bible or God I also learn how to be closer to him. But all three I’m talking and thinking about God and the Bible and he knows my thoughts.

When I read or listen to the bible, I open up myself to hearing the Word of God. I get to learn how God has worked through others in amazing ways. It fills my heart more and more with joy to be in His presence and to share how amazing God is!

Bible study is a form of spiritual communication because it is how God speaks to us through His Word (2 Timothy 3:16). As I learn more and more about God, His Word is truth. His word continues to bring me comfort day in and day out. Fellowship is a form of spiritual communication because it is how we speak to both believers and unbelievers about Christ (Hebrews 10:24-25, Romans 8:28-29). When I speak to believers about Christ, I am not only sharing about what God has done for me but also learning about what God has done for others. I haven’t experienced speaking to unbelievers about God, but I pray I will be prepared to share all the good news about God. Prayer is a form of spiritual communication because it is how we speak to God through prayer (Philippians 4:6-7). When I am praying to God, I am solely speaking to him through my prayer.

Bible Study and Prayer are the communication between us and God. God speak to us through His word in the Bible (we listen, read, study and analize to understand it) and we response to His word by praying.
Fellowship is the communication between us and others. There are two kinds of “others” : believer and unbeliever. We witness the Christ and His words to them in out fellowship

Whenever we open the Bible, we are reading the very words of God. If we want to hear him speak, then we should read it out loud. By studying the Bible, we are allowing our lives to be transformed because the word is alive and active. When we do so in fellowship with other, we are able to sharpen one another as well. Prayer is just talking with God. We can speak words of adoration to him, confess sin, give thanksgiving, and make supplication. And when we’re quiet, maybe we’ll hear the whispers of God in response to those prayers.
