J. I. Packer says...
Christian fellowship is an expression of both love and humility. It springs from a desire to bring benefit to others, coupled with a sense of personal weakness and need. It has a double motive- the wish to help, and to be helped; to edify and to be edified. It has a double aim- to do, and to receive, good. It is a corporate seeking by Christian people to know God better through sharing with each other what, individually, they have learned of Him already.
