Explain how Bible study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication.
-
These all can be different forms of spiritual communication by the way they differ. Bible study is a way we receive God’s word. Fellowship is a way that we can spread God’s word. Prayer is a way that we ask or have a conversation with God.
-
Bible study is our receiving of communication from God through his holy word. Fellowship can be a lot of things but primarily I believe that it is the spurring on of one another in our faith. Prayer is our petition and praise of God and his attirbutes.
-
All of these are ways we can learn and hear from God. Some are hearing directly from God the Father through His word, some are hearing from the Holly Spirit, and some are from people that God has placed in our lives to hear the truth through them.
-
We learn who God is and what He expects from His creation in the Bible. We learn about sin and redemption. We see the story of the Word made flesh. Through the Holy Spirit we are able to fellowship with God in unity and love with other believers. Through the Holy Spirit we are able to communicate with God through prayer.
-
Studying the Bible helps me to better hear from and understand God’s will for my life. It provides me with Godly wisdom and insight to the complexities of daily life. When I pray, I communicate directly do God my gratefulness, my inadequacy, my fears, my doubts, and my joy among other things. Fellowship is communication with other believers. I think it is absolutely necessary for Christ-followers to be in community with other believers. The Church is the body of Christ and we should be building each other up and encouraging one another to love and good deeds regularly.
