A parent has a permanent \u003cem\u003erelationship\u003c\/em\u003e with his\/her child. But \u003cem\u003efellowship\u003c\/em\u003e with a child means the parent and the child are enjoying their \u003cem\u003erelationship\u003c\/em\u003e. And though their \u003cem\u003erelationship\u003c\/em\u003e is eternal, their \u003cem\u003efellowship\u003c\/em\u003e is not. A father and his son have a permanent \u003cem\u003erelationship\u003c\/em\u003e, but unless they spend time together sharing with one another, they will not have much \u003cem\u003efellowship\u003c\/em\u003e. The apostle John wrote one book about how to have an eternal \u003cem\u003erelationship\u003c\/em\u003e with God-the Gospel of John (John 20:31). And he wrote another book about how to enjoy that \u003cem\u003erelationship\u003c\/em\u003e, or how to have \u003cem\u003efellowship\u003c\/em\u003e with God-First John (1 John 1:3-4). Dr. Anderson explains that First John is not about whether one has an eternal \u003cem\u003erelationship \u003c\/em\u003ewith God, but it is about how to enjoy that \u003cem\u003erelationship\u003c\/em\u003e by having \u003cem\u003efellowship\u003c\/em\u003e with God. And enjoying \u003cem\u003efellowship\u003c\/em\u003e with God is what Dr. Anderson calls MAXIMUM JOY.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Grace Theology Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50544251732242,"sku":"9780988411258","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a47a490d-f53d-43d7-8879-1df049c93fc2.jpg?v=1731524827","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/maximum-joy-1-john-relationship-or-fellowship-new-study-edition-9780988411258","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
