The Daily Grace - A Healthy Church

As believers in Christ, we have the privilege and responsibility of encouraging one another in our faith. The writer of Hebrews said, "Let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works" (Heb. 10:24). The church is not just an institution or a mere social club. It is where we, who have been brought near to God and washed from sin, can help one another grow in Christlikeness. 

The purpose of meeting together as a corporate body is to exhort and encourage one another. No believer can function alone. To live as our Lord Jesus wants us to, we need the community of believers. As you meet with other believers, think of who you can come alongside and encourage by your words and actions to be more like the Christ we love and serve.

A healthy church is the best witness to a hurting world. The church is the hospital of sinners. You are all welcome there. It is good to belong in a church where we can encourage one another.
