Why Go To Church?

God made the human race to be Social, he made Adam and knew it would work better with Eve. So he created two people to share the new earth together.

He also told Noah to take 2 of each animal on to the ark together with his family, this again was because god new that one of each would not work.

So OK this may be obvious to us, and we may know that for a species to survive it needs two, a male and female. And from that numbers grow and prosper.

This maybe not 100% true as I'm sure there is some species somewhere that can reproduce its self, and they say there are many species to still be discovered throughout the world. So who knows what is gonna be found.

I go to church and I know its not the only place I can go to pray and worship. I know going to church doesn't make me a christian. But being part of a church (which isn't actually the building its the people that meet there) gives me a place I can feel part of. It helps to learn and helps to encourage.

If we look at sport. Some people like to play individual sports such as golf and tennis. They get a sense of personal pride when they have won and don't feel they have let anyone else down when they lose.

Others like to be part of a team and like to work together with others an share the joy of winning and disappointment of losing. They enjoy the ''of pitch'' friendships they have with others and work hard to do there best for others.

All of these factors are important for a christian. A christian Needs to have a sense of personal pride and a one to one relationship with God by praying and trying to be the best they can.

Also It is important that we are part of the Church. This helps to encourage and be encouraged. being part of a church enables us to learn and teach each other and share our experiences to help us to grow with God.

So why go to church? Because God made us to be sociable and encouraged us to help and support each other. He wants us to be part of a complete family and meet together both to Worship and to socialise

''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.''
Hebrews 10:25
