Question of the Day: Does having other Christians in our life help?
Read about It
Read: Ecclesiastes 4:9–12
Have you ever had a hard fall? If you have, you know it can be painful. Having someone to help you makes it easier to get back up. Have you ever sat close to a friend after playing outside in the snow? You know that being in the cold by yourself isn’t very warm. Being in a pair, a group of two people, makes life so much easier.
When we surround ourself with other believers who are serving Jesus, praying, and spending time studying God’s Word, it’s harder to fall away from following Jesus. Studying God’s Word with other people will make our relationship with God stronger. We can help each other understand parts of God’s Word that He’s explained to us. And we can stand together against Satan, our enemy.
