A basic commitment to one another - "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves (Rom 12:10)
Without a basic trust, there can be no fellowship. The depth of fellowship will depend on the depth of commitment.
Our commitment must be based on 'Agape' - Agape is a one-way love which is not affected by the other person's inconsistent behaviour. "A new commandment I give you: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (John 13:34)
True Fellowship is Christ-Centered - Our fellowship with one another is founded in our common commitment to Christ. "...And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ" (1 Jn 1:3)
