Do you even own a Bible?
Jesus loves the church deeply. Ephesians 5:25 says, "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." He sees the church as his bride, sacrifices for her, nourishes and cherishes her, and aims to present her holy and spotless.
On gathering together, Hebrews 10:24-25 puts it plainly: "Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."
Jesus himself says in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them."
The early church modeled this in Acts 2:42: they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer, meeting daily with glad hearts.
And 1 Corinthians 12 pictures the church as one body with many members: we need each other to function, serve, and minister together. That’s where fellowship, worship, and ministry happen.
