Communion derives from the Greek word “koinonia,” which means companionship, company, partnership, friendship, oneness or association. It refers to the state of being a fellow or associate; the quality or state of being comradely. It connotes an activity that takes place between two people on the same level.

 

The apostle Paul had this in mind in his epistle to the Romans, unveiling how we’ve been brought into a legal union, and are contractually associated as joint principles with divinity: “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ” (Romans 8:17). Our partnership with Christ means we’re in Him, and He’s in us, as one indivisible entity! Everything He owns belongs to you as much as they belong to Him. Ours is an inseparable union that has brought us into oneness with divinity.

 

Not only was your spirit recreated when you were born again, you were also immersed into Christ; you became one with Him! The Bible says, “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been made to drink into one Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:13). You’ve been made to drink into one Spirit; you’ve become inter-mingled with the Spirit of God as one divine creation.

 

God has brought us to His level by bringing us into union with Himself, and His Son (1 John 1:3). He brought you into this glorious union by His grace, not of your works! We didn’t ask for it, it was God’s choice: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God” (Ephesians 2:!(https://www.nairaland.com/grid/cool.png/3).
