When you separate a burning charcoal from the rest, it will slowly quenches (dies).
In the Bible too, Jesus said:
"for where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them". Matthew 18:20 KJV
Beloved! You are a better and stronger Christian when you are with brothers and sisters in Christ. Your relationship with brothers and sisters in Christ will build you up because these are the people that can pray with you, strengthen and encourage you when it comes to faith, They can also support and counsel you when it comes to marriage or a certain life decision making.
Whenever you see someone that claims to be a Christian and marries a non-Christian, look at the people roundabout him/ her and see the type of people he/she loved dating .
Secondly, whenever you see someone who claims to be a Christian but later rejects Jesus Christ, again, look at the type of people they surround themselves with.
Lastly, if you see someone claiming to be a Christian and yet making unbiblical decisions or compromises the truth of the Gospel. Again, look at the people who are advising and teaching him/her.
Jesus Christ knows that in this world people will always have influences over our lives, but he advised us to be together as brothers and sisters if we are to be followers of him.
In togetherness, Jesus will be with us, the fire of the Holy Spirit in us will be kindled or ignited to it's brightest nature for all men and women to see the light in us. The band of love between us will become stronger. And finally whatever we ask or say in prayer, that is what heaven will do.
Two Christians are better than one.
Have a blessed Weekend!
