The Importance of Christian Fellowship
Acts 2:42-47
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
In a society that often values individualism, this passage reminds us of the importance of Christian community. The early church was known for their devotion to fellowship, sharing meals together, and corporate worship. This wasn’t just a nice thing to do - it was essential for their growth and witness. How does your life reflect the importance of Christian fellowship?
Prayer:
If you've been neglecting gathering with other believers, what steps can you take to re-engage? Remember, as we see Christ's return drawing nearer, our need for mutual encouragement and support only grows stronger.
