Being a Good Person Isn’t Enough
There is a passage in Luke 18 that I keep coming back to. Every time I read the story of the Pharisee and the publican, I seem to see something

Purpose #2 – Fellowship with other believers
We are to look at other believers as part of our family now. Spiritual in nature but more significant because of the eternal implications. “Spirit is thicker than blood” is one thing I’ve heard in church, so our Father wants us to remember our connection with other believers. We see that baptism is our outward symbol of initiation into the family. As with our natural families, certain expectations come, as well as benefits, but now moreso because we are part of God’s family.

And you will always have a place to stay
Because we were formed for Gods family
He didn’t choose us randomly

Gods family
We are children of the Most High God and part of an awesome spiritual family. We need each other and help each other along this journey of life. It is not good for man to be alone, and thank God we have each other.

Our spiritual family lasts into eternity. So very comforting that it extends beyond this temporary life here.
