Why Do We Go To Church?

We should not stop gathering together with other believers, as some of you are doing. Instead, we must continue to encourage each other even more as we see the day of the Lord coming. - Hebrews 10:25

Since when I was small, I love going to church. Mom always make sure we go to Church not just on Sundays but also during the week. Though these days, I only go to church in sundays. But do we really know why we go to Church? At least when I was small, I know I go to Church because I had to follow mom But of course I can't say that now.

Most people go to Church simply because it's Sunday and they are 'Christian by religion'. Far beyond being a Christian or because it's Sunday, going to church has a far more reaching impact on us.

The biblical text for today advised that we shouldn't forsake the gathering of the Brethren,  He was simply saying don't forsake church. Any gathering of the Brethren is church. The body of Christ is the church which also the brethren.

Church is not a mere social gathering though it can be part of it. A church is the coming together of the believers. Buildings, cathedrals, temples, synagogues are not church. The real church are the brethren who have come together to worship and exhort together. Church is not an individualistic thing. 

The Church is not made of perfect people. If it were, then no need to gather. The Church is made of imperfect believers who have come to receive the perfection of Christ.

We go to Church because it's an avenue to strengthen and be strengthened.

We go to Church because we are not perfect as Christian

We go to Church to worship God with other Christians.

We go to Church to be taught of the word by the clergymen.

We go to Church because we wants to build each another up.

We go to Church to pray as one body.

We go to Church so as to grow in our spiritual life.

Next time you want to go to Church, as yourself "Why am I going to church?", (your answer might shocked you)

 

Good Morning and a Happy Sunday to you...👌
