Bible Question:
Hi Norm, I note that you have deviated from the main topic -"reasons for Christians to attend Sunday Service" and not why Sunday Service should be held on Sunday only.I have chosen to mentioned Sunday Service because Church Services are normally held on Sundays through out the world. Of course, church services can be held on any other day of the week as practised by your local assembly. Thanks for your contribution. FytRobert |
Bible Answer: The biblical reason (and plenty of folks attend service for plenty of personal reasons) to attend "Sunday Service" is the same for attendance of any service: Hebrews 10:24 "and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds," This is evidenced in 1 Corinthians 14:26 "What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification." One definition of edify reads as follows: "to instruct and improve especially in moral and religious knowledge." Additionally, there are consequences if we are not stimulated to love and good deeds, and instead fall by the wayside, as in context in Hebrews 10:26-31 "For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY." And again, "THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE." It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Does this help? |
