We Need One Another!

Another: Additional; but of the same character.

We live in an age that has nearly lost a generation, because of the notion that you can be a Christian and not go to Church. There are those who have actually grown up with the misguided notion that they can have their own Church right where they are and as a result, Church attendance is unnecessary.

How tragic it must be to be satisfied with a religion predicated on isolation. Time and time again, scriptures affirm our need for one another. Not to mention, Hebrews 10:25 tells us, "Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together, as it is the habit of some people."

Minister Hicks wants to share a few reasons why we need each other via the following scriptures:

  1. Colossians 3:6 - to Admonish or warn a person to correct a fault

  2. Romans 12:16 - to be of the Same Mind toward one another; i.e. to live in harmony with one another

  3. Galatians 6:2 - to Bear or Endure one another's burden

  4. 1 Corinthians 12:25 - to Care for one another; so there is no division or discord among God's people

  5. 1 Thessalonians 4:18 - to Comfort one another or to encourage one another in meekness and love

  6. Romans 14:19 - to Edify (benefit and enlighten) one another

  7. Hebrews 10:25 - to Exhort or strongly advise one another to do something

  8. 1 John 1:7 - to Fellowship with one another; to ensure friendly relationships between people with common interests

  9. Colossians 3:13 - to Forgive one another. Keep in mind that the Lord has freely forgiven us, so we must return that favor to one another.

  10. James 5:16 - to Pray for one another.

This is just a small sample of the scriptures that remind us that we need one another (and of course, most importantly we need Jesus), so let's make sure that we get out there and make sure that we are engaging within our respective church homes!

With all that said, let the Church say Amen... and AMEN!
