Church-Going
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
There is an important passage on church-going in Hebrews 10:23-25:
“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering…. And let us consider one another, to provoke unto love and to good works; not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is… “
We are often urged, these days: “Go to the church of your
choice.” The implication is that one church is as good as another
— just so you go to church. But this is not so.
The Scriptures teach that the true Church is composed of those who have
placed their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Savior who died for
their sins. Such are told to “hold fast” the faith which they
have professed, without wavering. This must come first, for it is only
those who have first exercised such faith who can meet together with unity
of mind and purpose to encourage each other “to love and to good
works.”
It is a truly blessed experience for those who have been saved by the
grace of God, to assemble to express their praise together in song, to lift
their hearts together in prayer and to join together in the study of
God’s Word so as to “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ.”
In these days of tension and confusion there is a tendency for even the
most sincere Christians to be so occupied with temporal things that they
deprive themselves of the encouragement and spiritual uplift that comes
from getting together with other Christians. But these are just the times
when true believers need the encouragement of each other’s company
and should particularly remember the admonition of Scripture not to forsake
“the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some
is.”
