Bible Question: Where in the Bible does it say we should attend church? My daughter says she doesn't have to go to church to be saved (I agree). But I have always thought that if you are saved, you DESIRE to go to church and there are passages to back this up. However, I can't find where now that she said she would go if I could find it. Help! |
Bible Answer: Hi mmcauley12, Welcome to the StudyBibleForum! While it is true that church attendance is not required for salvation, we are admonished to gather together, and more often as we get closer to the end of the age (Heb. 10:25). I am not aware of any passages that tell us that we will Want to attend church, as such. 1 John has much to say of our love for the brethren, and we tend to want to be with those we love. Peter (1 Peter 2:2) tells us to "long for the pure milk of the word". One could argue that you do not have to go to church to read your Bible. The Holy Spirit draws us closer as we grow in Christ. I have found that the more mature the Christian, the more they want to do those things that we know are good, such as Bible study, Church attendance, prayer and prayer meetings, and such. I suggest that you read the passage in Hebrews with her, and also the second chapter of Acts, how the disciples were gathered "in one accord", when the Holy Spirit did such a mighty work. And pray with her for God to reveal His desire for her, and for you. You can't go wrong! I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
