Christian life is meant to be full of fellowship with other believers, not lived in isolation. If we want to grow spiritually and endure for the long haul, we need each other for encouragement. Regular, real-life day to day fellowship with each other is essential for growth and perserverance. Besides gathering in smaller home groups, the book of Acts confirms that the early believers came together for larger corporate meetings (Acts 2:44). Their commitment to one another was so profound that they pooled their resources and shared what they had with those in need (Acts 2:44–45). Christians ought not to give up meeting together because we form one family—God’s family, or the “household of faith” (Ephesians 2:19; 1 Timothy 3:15; Galatians 6:10). As members of God’s household, believers are to show love for one another, hospitality, tenderness, compassion, and humility (Hebrews 13:1–2: Philippians 2:1–3). Reach out to one another, form those bonds, continue to grow your relationships with fellow Christians and God. It will bring you peace and joy!
