QuickThoughts: Encourage One Another

Even the Apostle Paul, arguably the most holy man to have ever lived (apart from Christ), needed and sought not only to encourage others, but to be encouraged by other believers.

📘 For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be strengthened; that is, to be mutually encouraged, while among you, by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

Romans 1:11-12

Though he had been called to “bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for [Jesus’] name’s sake” (Romans 1:5), Paul was not so proud as to avoid being encouraged BY the faith of those same Gentiles.

As those called by Christ, saints of God, and as we go about the business of preaching the Gospel to others, let us not forget that we too need to be encouraged and reminded of the Gospel!

Stand fast, brethren! Seek out the fellowship of the saints and encourage one another. We NEED one another!

📘 And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can stand against him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.

Ecclesiastes 4:12
