Why fellowship is needed

Being around other believers gives us the chance to learn and grow in our faith. It demonstrates to us why we believe and sometimes it is the excellent food for our souls. When we deal with a hard-hearted world, it can become easy to fall into that hard-heartedness and question our beliefs.

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. We all have bad moments. If we go too low, it can lead to anger and a feeling of disillusionment with God. Yet these low times are why fellowship is important. Spending time with other believers can often lift us up a little bit. They help us to keep our eyes on God. God also works through them to provide us what we need in darker times. Coming together with others can aid in our healing process and give us the encouragement to move forward.

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. Coming together with other believers in worship and conversation helps to remind us that we are not alone in this world. There are believers everywhere. In other words, the purpose of the church is to hold God up to the world and display every aspect of His glorious being for all the world to see. We are individual members. It takes a unified orchestra to play the symphony.

When we co-operate together to play the symphony, that is called fellowship. There is an internal unity around who we are—members together of the orchestra, the church. We have a sense of camaraderie with other believers.

Many believers think the church can make it without them. Because of the importance of fellowship, no one has the right to remove themselves and not play their instrument in the orchestra. When you meet together, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in tongues, and another will interpret what is said. Fellowship is an important part of our faith. Coming together to support one another is an experience that allows us to learn, gain strength, and show the world exactly what God is.

Each of us together shows all of God's graces to the world. No one is perfect. We all sin, but each of us has a purpose here on Earth to show aspects of God to those around us.

Each of us has been given specific spiritual gifts. When we come together in fellowship , it's like us as a whole demonstrating God. Think of it like a cake. You need the flour, sugar, eggs, oil, and more to make a cake.

The eggs will never be the flour. None of them make up the cake alone. Yet together, all those ingredients make a delicious cake. It is like that will fellowship. All of us together show the glory of God. Romans "For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ, we though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith. No matter where we are in our faith, fellowship provides us with strength. Being around other believers gives us the chance to learn and grow in our faith. It demonstrates to us why we believe and sometimes is the excellent food for our souls.

It's great to be out in the world evangelizing to others , but it can easily make us hard and eat away at our strength. When we deal with a hard-hearted world, it can become easy to fall into that hard-heartedness and question our beliefs. It's always good to spend some time in fellowship so that we remember that God makes us strong.

For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. We all have bad moments.
