The Greek word means joint participation, common participation. Fellowship is the (issue) of the eternal life and is actually the (flow) of the eternal life within all the believers, who have received and possess the divine life. It is illustrated by the (flow) of the water of life in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 22:1). All genuine (believers) are in this fellowship (Acts 2:42). It is carried on by the (Spirit) in our regenerated spirit. Hence, it is called "the (fellowship) of the Holy Spirit" (2 Cor. 13:14) and "fellowship of [our] spirit" (Phil. 2:1). It is in this fellowship of the eternal life that we, the believers, participate in all that the Father and the Son are and have done for us; that is, we enjoy the (love) of the Father and the (grace) of the Son by virtue of the fellowship of the Spirit.(See 1 John 1:3 note 3, paragraph 1)
