The New Testament describes the church as a body with many parts, a family with many members, and a holy nation made up of God’s people. Each picture is a reminder that life in Christ is a life we share; when Christ calls us to Himself, He calls us to one another.

However, we often treat gathering with the church as optional. Other things have captured our attention and affection. Revival renews our understanding of what we have in Christ—and our desire to share life with His people. As we rejoice in our salvation, gathering becomes something we value, prioritize, and commit ourselves to.

Because we belong to Christ, we have a responsibility to help one another remain faithful. It’s time to lock in: on Christ, on the hope we confess, and on one another.
