Something I have been thinking a lot about the last few days is the much neglected ideal of gospel community. Community where believers are constantly spurring each other on to love and good deeds, and where we are also constantly reminding each other of the grace and love that has been lavished on us through Christ.
This is something that Paul urged the churches he was writing to be continually doing and unfortunately, it seems to have slipped away over the past 2000 years.
I know from personal experience how much I need this in my life, a group of people who genuinely love me and who can remind every day of the amazing grace of God shown in the gospel. I also desire to be able to do this for people too.
Reminding believers of their standing in Christ, based purely on His work and NOTHING else, is something ALL of us need. Choose one person you can help with this and get reminding! If you need to, make notes to remind you to remind them!
