Over fifty times in the New Testament the phrase

"one another" or "each other"

is used.

\

We are commanded to

love each other, pray for each other, encourage each other,

admonish each other, greet each other, serve each other,

teach each other, accept each other, honor each other,

bear each other's burdens, forgive each other,

submit to each other, be devoted to each other,

and many other mutual tasks.

\

This is biblical membership!

These are your "family responsibilities" that

God expects you to fulfill through a local fellowship.

-"The Pupose Driven Life" by Rick Warren-

(pg. 134 Day 17 "A Place to Belong">

--------------------------------------------------------

In Christ we who are many form one body,

and each member belongs to all the others.

-Romans 12:5-
