FulfillmentI continued, "Then, how does a Baptist Christian become fulfilled, or realized? Use whatever term you’d like to use." "I think the best term of all is that a Christian is fulfilled in fellowship with God. Now, fellowship with God, to me, is consistent reading of God’s holy Word, the quiet time, meditation, and prayer. Fellowship is the daily contact with God. I know no other way than the daily reading of God’s holy Word in prayer and meditation. This is a necessary part — fellowship with God. "Secondly, obedience to the revealed will of God as we find it in the scriptures. We must witness, giving of our resources (some call it tithing, some say giving), demonstrating the love of God to others, helping others, participating with other believers in worship, assembling ourselves together." Reverend Pelletier explained, "We believe that the Bible is the living Word of God and that it isn’t by error or mistake that it was called The Holy Bible. We believe it is God’s revelation to us. So, when we read God’s Word, wait and pray, and meditate and listen, God speaks to us through His holy Word. He warms our hearts. We know that he is there, that he is with us. This is called fellowship, fellowship with God." |
