So Why Are Spiritual Relationships So Awesome!?

All throughout the New Testament, we read about the lives of the disciples who followed Christ, and we notice, they were never alone! Why is that? Because it is part of God’s plan, and it just makes sense!

So why are spiritual relationships so important?

- It is Jesus’ command for us and what defines a Christian, to love one another with the standard that Jesus loved us (John 13:34-35)
- So that we can get open with our lives through confession and prayer (James 5:16)
- For accountability (Colossians 1:28, Ephesians 4:25)
- Gaining a heart of giving and denying ourselves (Luke 9:23-25)
- Because together we get closer to God (1 John 1:3)
- Spiritual counseling and training (2 Timothy 3:16)
- So we can pray for each other (Philemon 4-5, Ephesians 6:18)
- Others see your relationships and it can “speak to them” (1 Timothy 4:16)
- Getting advice (Proverbs 15:22, 12:15)
- Convenience when you need a helping hand (Acts 2:42-45)
- Because we have a common bond in Christ (Acts 2:44, Philemon 6)
