In the same way that everyone is born into a natural family, every Christian is born into God’s spiritual family. We receive benefits as family members, but we also have responsibilities that influence our priorities and how we treat one another. We should have the same regard, commitment and love for our spiritual families as we do for our natural families. We don’t just want to meet together once a week; we want to commit our lives to one another with love, encouragement, and forgiveness.
