We are now to a point in our study where Fellowship and Membership meet.
To be a part of the body of Christ you have to be open.
1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:13
Make sure you have a desire to be closer to others in the body of Christ.
A Christian life doesn’t happen in your head, but with other people.
God secured us with love. If you don’t have any love…wonder about your salvation.
Being a real Christian (being active in the Lord with other people) helps other Christians.
And that help works both ways – let other people help and love you.
You can’t be a Christian if you don’t let other people into your life.
It is okay for somebody to be concerned about you.
God won’t always tell you/others all the information. He expects us to interact.
Desire to see and interact with other Christians.
Psalm 119:62-63 | Be a companion to other Believers
Psalm 119:74 | Be glad to see other Christians
Proverbs 13:20 | You will be influenced by who you hang with
Malachi 3:16-18
It’s not just going to Church, but interacting with other Christians.
God heard their conversations, and kept note. He takes pleasure when Christians fellowship.
What will you do this week to show concern for someone else?
