Genesis 2:18 Then the Lord said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."
In the very beginning, when God was creating the world, He did not think it was ok to leave the man he created by himself. He saw fit to create a helper, whom He called "woman" to accompany the man. Notice in this translation that the scripture says the woman was "fit for him". God did not just place anyone alongside Adam, He made someone just for Adam.
Even though the Almighty God of the universe can do all things and makes no mistakes, it was not good that man should be alone. If it was not ok for Adam to be alone; why should it be ok for us today?
So many who proclaim to be Christians say that they can worship God on their own, the Church is filled with hypocrites, they're too busy on Sunday, they don't get anything out of going...etc, etc etc. The list of excuses is long. But the reality is this: we need each other. Can we worship God on our own? Of course. But can we do life on our own? Not at all. The truth is, we need each other, not just for worship on Sunday mornings, but for uplifting one another in prayer, working as a team on missions, encouraging each other, feeding the hungry, teaching the immature, guidance, accountability, etc, etc, etc.
As you can see, the list of reasons why we should be part of a group of believers goes on just as long, if not longer, than the list of excuses given not to be a part of such a group. We hold each other up. Like Adam, it is not good for each of us to be alone, and like Eve, there are many who are "fit" to be part of our walk with the Lord.
Plug in.
