1 Corinthians 12:15-21

15
Now if the foot should say, Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,
it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say,
Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body, it would not for that reason
stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense
of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell
be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he
wanted them to be.19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is,
there are many parts, but one body.
21
The eye cannot say to the hand, I dont need you! And the head cannot say to the
feet, I dont need you!

Why Christians need each other?

1. To Grow in their faith

a. God provided pastors and teachers for us to be equipped.
b. To protect us from wrong teachings and living (example exodus 14:14)
2. To obey Jesus Christ
a. Christ commissioned us to save souls/baptize Acts 2:42
3. To worship the true God the right way
a. Worship is enhanced when more believers gather
b. Colossians 3:16
4. To help and be helped by each other
a. Acts 4:32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed
that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared
everything they had.
5. To encourage each other to continue in the Faith
a. let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good
deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of
some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the
day drawing near (Hebrews 10:24-25).

WE NEED THEM, THEY NEED US!

They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of
us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be
shown that they all are not of us (1 John 2:19).
