What is the importance of true fellowship? How important should it be to us? More so, how important is it to God? Many things come to mind with a passage from Hebrews. Some are simply stated such as "spur one another on to love and good deeds" and "encourage one another." Not only that, but fellowship has the ability to serve as accountability, a time of confession and prayer, and of course a time with friends and family. It can be time together for joy or sorrow, a time of teaching or learning. We were not made to go through life alone or in complete solitude from others.
Friends, we were made for fellowship. We were made to live together. We were made to "do life" together, to motivate and encourage one another. God made us for relationship, wired for not just ourselves but for others as well. When serving and living together in Christ, we are not just family and friend but we are the body of Christ. Without the rest of the body, what purpose does an eye serve? An eye is just an eye without the rest of the body and serves no true purpose alone. Let us learn to live with one another, do life together, and work the way the body God built is meant to work!!

"Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near."
~*Hebrews 10:24-25
