There is also fellowship of suffering, of Spirit, of Mystery, of ministering and of His Son. We are told that these are kind of ways that we as Christians should have fellowship. In all of verses that use this word koinonia Word renders fellowship as a noun. There is also a verb form of koinonia, sugkoinonia which is a command not to have fellowship with devils. We will stick to noun and see how God wants us to fellowship.

In Ephesians we find in third chapter and ninth verse word fellowship used and bringing this word to apex of its meaning in Bible.

Eph, 3:9 And to make all [men] see what [is] fellowship of mystery, which from beginning of world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

This fellowship of Mystery that which was hid in God sharing, partaking, partnership, intimacy and of course fellowship we have with God is that we Gentiles are fellow-heirs of promise we are partakers of promise we share fully in that which God has ordained for Mystery believers since beginning of world.

We should look at one more use of fellowship and that is fellowship of ministering to saints. We as Mystery Believers are encouraged to minister to believers with good deeds we can do by contributing (another use of word koinonia) to necessity of body of Christ by distribution (koinonia) by making known what is richness of Mystery.

Fellowship is a wonderful word used in Epistles, it has significant meaning and I encourage you to do your own work on this great Biblical word. Each and every word in Bible has many uses and usages which make Bible most intriguing book to study. God Bless your wonderful hearts in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The effect of this degenerating influence upon Hebrew society began to be felt in corruption of justice, in willful and luxurious living of upper classes, and in general decay of social unity. The wealthy exhibited no responsibility towards poor, and instead of relieving their economic distress, rich seemed hell-bent upon depriving their less fortunate counterparts of all their property. Within a short period of time, nation whose strength had subsisted in mass of its independent citizens was divided into dissolute rich and oppressed poor. In just a few short years poor had been reduced further to level of serfs, and when circumstances dictated, they were frequently sold into bondage by their masters for trivial considerations. The virtual disappearance of middle class marked a turning point in stability of Israel’s life.

The impending downfall and utter collapse of Northern Kingdom is predominant theme of book of Amos. The basis for his prophecy is injustice and immorality expressed in political, economic, and religious life of nation. It was Amos’ conviction that Yahweh is a God of justice and His power over nations of earth is evidenced by fact that transgression of principles of justice and social righteousness will inevitably be followed by utter ruin and decay.
