“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near.”
(Hebrews
10:24-25 NLT)
These present days are filled with all and every sort of
challenge – events that test our faith and the love we’re exhorted to have for
our fellow man. Oftentimes we just need to be motivated and encouraged through
the daily grind so that our faith remains strong and we persevere in love.
Going to church on Sundays in the company of other
believers, hearing an inspiring sermon and singing hymns and other songs of
worship give us a boost but, is it enough?
Even though church services are great opportunities to gather, Christian people need to gather together outside of the regular once a week service on Sundays. We need to do exactly what Hebrews 10, verses 24 and 25 tell us to do and get together more often.
Beloved, coming together with other believers promotes faith
building, provokes acts of love and good deeds, and encourages each person to
stay faithful to Christ and to one another. So, this new year, determine to do
just that; let’s gather together.
Amen †
