04/21/24 INTERACT FOR GOOD HEALTH
One reason it is essential to be an interactive part of a faithful body of believers is that they will encourage you to be a faithful follower of Christ. A loving body will not try to micromanage your life, but they will not give approval to your inconsistencies. They won't hound you, but they will guard the truth and the dignity of the family of faith. This requires a local church to maintain a balance of patience with purity.
It is wise and incumbent for Christians to recognize the value of fellow believers in their local church. This will result in a mutual submission, as well as a willingness to seek and accept counsel. Guarding each other's dignity is the responsibility of every believer, regardless of their maturity level.
This kind of mutual respect and answerability will protect and correct the various members of the body. Show me a person who does not seek unity and support and I will show you a person headed for trouble.
We have the responsibility to rid our church of false doctrine and worldliness, but we must act in love or we will be a stumbling block, driving out those who need us the most.
