Explain how Bible study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication.
-
I strongly believe that through God’s Word we can hear His voice, through prayers He can hear our voice and in communication with other believers we can exchange the information we receive. And our contact with God weakens when any of these things are missing.

Bible study –

The Bible provides God’s Word, which is like the seeds for our faith. Studying it helps us understand God’s nature, plan, and love, enabling us to grow in our faith.
Prayer
<div>
- As Timothy Keller says in his book Prayer “indeed, prayer makes it safe for God to give us many of the things we most desire. It is the way we know God, the way we finally treat God as God. Prayer is simply the key to everything we need to do and be in life.”
Fellowship
- Hebrews 10:25 <em style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: inherit;”>Let us not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but let us exhort one another, especially as you see the Day approaching
These all, while have the same goal of spiritual development, strength a different part of the believer. I believe they are different modes of communication because it is God speaking to us through His Word (Bible Study), us talking back to God (Prayer), and then us talking with each other (Fellowship)

I think Bible study, prayer and fellowship with other believers are different forms of spiritual communication. The first two describe primarily our communication with God. God speaks to us through the pages of Scripture. As 2nd Timothy 3:16 describes it – Scripture is the inspired Word of God to us and it teaches us what is true and helps us realize what is wrong in our lives. We also get to respond to God in prayer as we communicate with Him. Then through fellowship, we get to grow together with other believers, as we get even better instructed in the truths of Scripture and share our joys and burdens with fellow believers.
-
I feel Bible Study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication by the gifts it provides. When we study the Word of God we are being enlightened by God himself. When we are praying for ourselves or others we are humbling ourselves before God producing a spirit of humilty and deep connection to God. Fellowship is how we are able to grow together. Fellowship with your church friends/comnmunity is what helps us deepen our faith as a whole. Fellowship with Jesus is the devotion to the relationship that God has allowed us to receive through Jesus’ sacrifice for us. All these things are forms of spiritual communication because it transforms our spirits within us and makes us spiritually stronger against the enemy.
-
These are all types of spiritual communication because each one is a way for us to communicate with God. Bible studies help us to learn what God has intended for our lives through his plan and will. Fellowship with other believers help us to grow together as a community so that we can use walk together. Prayer is direct communication with God, and it’s our lifeline to living a Christian life.
