In 1 Corinthians 1:9 Paul says: God is faithful, who has called you into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. As a result of the preaching of the gospel, those who respond are called or invited into the fellowship of Jesus Christ. To share together with Jesus Christ and in him. Many people do not realize that this is the ultimate goal when we come to the gospel: fellowship, sharing together. Most practicing Christians and religious people are so caught up in traditional practices, ways of doing things, structures and organization, that they have completely forgotten the difference between the means and the end. They rarely ask themselves what is the end of what they do every Sunday. Second, they no longer ask themselves whether the means they are using are accomplishing the end they want to achieve. Practicing Christians around the world really need to ask themselves two questions: First, what is the end we want to achieve with all of these activities? Second, do the means we use contribute to achieving it? The ultimate goal is fellowship, which is why it is important. Through the preaching of the gospel, we are called “out” with the ultimate goal of fellowship, sharing Jesus Christ together.
