Encourage and Build One Another Up

Paul told the church at Rome, “so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.” (Romans 12:5), so then, as “members of one another”, we all need to strive to strengthen one another daily as much as we can. Brethren, if we break that connection we have—the church falters and over time if not corrected the church dies. It is critical that we understand we are saints and members of the household of God. (Ephesians 2:19). We must search the scriptures our whole life time and what you will not find is any teaching of isolationism.

To these things Solomon wrote: “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad” (Prov. 12:25). “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones” ( 16:24). “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver” ( 25:11). In other words a good word spoken at the right time is precious to the recipient.  And let’s not forget that you who voice “a word fitly”  are and encourage your brothers or sisters.
