The English dictionary defines fellowship as friendly association, especially with people who share one’s interests. Another simply states it as companionship., community of interest, activity, feeling or experience. Now let’s go one step further, tracing man’s pursuit of fellowship, a state of inclusiveness that God ordained for man in relation to man (Genesis 10:32-11:9). Note:

1. One language—Genesis 11:1
2. One direction—Genesis 11:2
3. One objective, one purpose—Genesis 11:3, 4

These are the fundamental characteristics of fellowship, except that it can be towards God’s ordained purpose, or in rebellion against God’s purpose. God’s primary ordained purpose for the New Testament believer is stated clearly in the Lord’s prayer notably Luke 11:2—Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

• THY KINGDOM COME
• THY WILL BE DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, SO ON EARTH.

Except and until we as believers apply these three basic characteristics outlined above on God’s Kingdom coming, there is no way to living in the unity that Jesus procured.

On the second part regarding His will, Paul’s extensively discourse on this is summarised here.

In Ephesians 4:17—5:21, the apostle Paul gives practical yet challenging instruction in holy living. The path to holiness includes imitating God (like children imitating a parent) by walking in love (verses 5:1–2) and walking as “children of light” (verses 5:8–9). The opposite of holy living is characterized in the Bible as “walking in darkness” (Isaiah 9:2; see also Proverbs 2:13), which is why Paul warns, “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them” (Ephesians 5:11, ESV).

Throughout Scripture, darkness symbolizes sin and its effects (Proverbs 2:12–15; Matthew 6:23; Isaiah 5:20; Isaiah 29:15). The word unfruitful in Ephesians 5:11 means “having no beneficial use, unproductive.” The works of darkness are unfruitful because they end in death, but the fruit of righteousness “leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life” (Romans 6:20–22).

By telling the Ephesians what behaviors to avoid, Paul outlines the unfruitful works of darkness: “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God” (Ephesians 5:3–5).

Paul advised the Romans to “cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.” Then he listed other dark deeds such as “orgies and drunkenness, . . . sexual immorality and sensuality, . . . quarreling and jealousy” (Romans 13:12–13, ESV).Culled from Got Questions

Except and until these characterise our lives, we cannot be in true fellowship with God neither with one another.

How well your life responds to these demands speaks to your readiness to be in relationship with God and with man (1 John 1:7). Please think on these things.
