Lets look at the The Church

Passage: 

Hebrews 10:24-25, "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching." (NIV)

Why are we commanded to meet? Why go to church? The writer of Hebrews says it is a safeguard against drifting. The context of the entire book communicates the need for one another--so we won't drift away from the faith. Individual commitment to Christ alone is not enough to keep us in line, we need each other. Church attendance and involvement is significant: When you drift away from the family of God-the church, it is only a matter of time until you drift away from God.

Nothing on earth is more valuable to God than his church. The church is so precious to our Savior that he died for it--the church is "the body of Christ," people. When you become a Christian you commit yourself to Christ. When you become a member of a local church you commit yourself to a specific group of believers! Church is more than just showing up to a place for services; it's a commitment to a group of believers. Jesus' idea of church is not just showing up and warming a seat on Sunday morning in a facility and isolating ourselves from others and not cultivating relationships. So often we think we've done our job if we've gone to church, the place/a building. We walk into the building, sit down, listen, and get back in the car to go about our business. God help us if that's our perspective of what a church should be. Jesus wants us to find and cultivate intimacy in the church, with our spiritual family. He desired for this family to have the strongest union, a permanent bond that will be for all eternity.
