Just as a child growing up will require the care of a family, so a new Christian will need to establish relationships with other members of the family of God.
A plant must be surrounded by good soil in order for it to receive nourishment and properly grow. If the soil is deficient the plant will wither; if it is rich in nutrients, the plant can then thrive.
A healthy Christian will desire to fellowship with other believers who have genuinely made Christ the Lord of their lives.
Question
Who should I fellowship with?
Answer

“Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God” (Ephesians 2:19)
Question
Who should I NOT fellowship with?
Answer
The Bible says: “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? (2 Corinthians 6:14)
Have “close” contact with Christians to learn about the Christ.
