Interesting dad, I love it that you have written such a beautiful post, I'm happy I didn't miss it.
Truly God created us in his own image and if we want to please him, we can't do that by giving him the most expensive thing in the world, he will always prefer us to do his will than any of those things.
Part of his will is for us to believe in his son Jesus Christ because he is the way the truth and the light and no one goes to the father except through him.
Also he wants us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves as that will prove that we love him.
He also asked us to praise his name just as you have rightly stated and also we should not forsake the assembly of ourselves together. The last one I mentioned if you look at it very well, you will see that it is contrary to what you first said when you started.
Yes sometimes we miss the assembly of ourselves together but it should not be a deliberate act because we choose to tell ourselves that it doesn't mean too much as long as our hearts are right with God.
The church is a body as Paul with the help of the holy spirit described it. And as a body if the leg refuse to walk saying he is not important what do you think will happen to the other part of the body? Or if the mouth refuses to eat saying that it has an injury what do you think will happen to the other parts?
The Bible made us to understand that we are individual members of the body and if one refuses to perform his role, it will affect the other part as well, so going to the fellowship of your fellow brethren is very important, it is a sin to not be where your brethren have agreed to be at an appointed time.
I've said so much already but you can just read through and ask me questions and correct me if I have spoken wrong somewhere.
oh my my, you have written a post under my post, this shows how passionate you are for God's conversations❣️
Yea i think i agree with your points too since we think alike except for that one part about why going to church is a necessity.... you made a point about being a body so I have a question for you....
what is the difference between praying at home with your family and you all going to church to pray?
Hahaha, so sorry I wrote a post under a post, hehe.
I see that too daddy.
Well for your question, the difference is that you praying with your family is something you all agree and it is not proper for anyone part of the family to miss out of it because it's what all of you or majority of you have agreed on and not keeping to that agreement is a sin to yourselves and God because any agreement we make, God has sealed it also.
Now the church is also a family but this time it is not a physical one but a spiritual one and you know it shouldn't be business as usual because we have Christ as the head. Now we have agreed as a church to meet at a particular time for three days in the week but we only meet once, that is not acceptable by man not to even mention God.
Mind you, I'm not saying it is those that are in every gathering of the saints that are more righteous, no, but at least they are not adding to their sin by forfeiting the gathering for something else.
If you are still not satisfied, I will suggest you DM me daddy 🥰.
