Feeling Like We Belong

Feeling Like We Belong 

 "For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit." (1 Corinthians 12:13)".....Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God." (Romans 15:7) 

 Walk-Line: As Christians, who are in one Spirit, baptized into one body, no matter the ethnicity, we are made to drink of one Spirit. And we are to welcome one another, just as Christ has welcomed us. Here is the question: Are you made to feel welcome in the Christian community you are trying to join? Yes, Jesus welcomes you, but to the believers you surround yourself with, do they make you feel like you are one of the family, or as an outcast? Do you make people feel welcome to yourself, and to others.

Too many churches develop cliques, that make up small groups of people who are not friendly towards others. If we are to achieve the unity Jesus prayed we would have, (John 17) we need to welcome everyone to ourselves, and make everyone in our fellowship feel, wanted, needed, and cared for. GP 

 Do you feel welcome in the Christian Community you share? 

Are you showing love and concern, for fellow Christians, 

with the burdens they must bear?

We are to be one in the Spirit, one in Christ, in God's Word we are told. 

We are to feel like we belong, as God's sheep, in His Fold.
