Living in Community

Young Yi

Psalms 133

How important is being part of a community? The significance of being part of community – interacting with other individuals on a regular basis – could be of upmost significant. Young Yi shares some ideas on why being part of community or not being part of a community may be a “life and death” issue. By living in a Christ-centered community, we are able to walk away from sin and towards Jesus Christ.

“Then the Lord God said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.’”

Genesis 2:18

 

“I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people.”

Leviticus 26:12

 

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20

 

“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teachings and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”

Acts 2:42-47

 

“When Christians experience Christ’s radical grace through repentance and faith, it becomes the most intense, foundational event of our lives. When we meet someone from a sharply different culture, race, or social class but who has experienced the grace of Jesus Christ through the gospel, we don’t see the differences first, but we are looking at someone who has been through the same life and death situation as we have, since in Christ we have spiritually died and been raised to new life.”
