This document discusses the importance and benefits of Christian fellowship. It states that fellowship allows believers to strengthen one another, encourage one another, share experiences, manifest joys, weep with those who weep, enlighten one another with God's word, and exhort backsliders. The results of fellowship include learning to walk in the light, suffer together, serve together, comfort one another, pray for one another, bear one another's burdens, rejoice with the joyful, and grow closer to God. Fellowship is an important part of Christian growth.
