Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Revelation 2:4
Many believe they don’t have to go to church in order to be a Christian. While this is true let me just share a few thoughts on that:
1. Does a husband HAVE to live in the same house with their wife?
2. Does a wife HAVE to spend time with their husband?
3. Does a husband HAVE to study his wife in order to get to know her likes and dislikes?
4. Does a wife HAVE to prepare meals for her husband or VISE VERSE?
5. Does a husband or wife HAVE to honor their spouse?
Just a few thoughts all with the same answer, “No!” However, if you love your spouse you will live with them. You will spend time with them. You will study them. You will help them around the house. You will honor them. And much, much more!
Such it is if we are a Christian…We will love the times we get to go to church. We love getting to spend time with His children people worshipping and praising Him. We love getting to study His Word learning more about Him and ourselves. We love getting to help in God’s House, where we meet corporately with one another. We love to get to partake of the Lord’s Supper with one another. We love and honor our Saviour by coming to church!
Child of God, what has happened in your life that has distracted you from the love of God you once had? What has caused you to leave your first love? Well, this morning set that aside for a little while and GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH!
