Two people are better than one… If one falls down, the other can help him up. But it is bad for the person who is alone and falls, because no one is there to help.
ECCLESIASTES 4:10 (NCV)
People are not meant to go through life alone. We were created to live in community. But it’s not always easy to find community in this day and age (at least not the kind that supports you as you grow closer to Jesus rather than tries to drag you away). That’s why the Bible talks about community in terms of people “choosing” to belong. You have to go out and find community sometimes and then choose to belong to other people and to let other people belong to you. It’s not a comfortable thing for 21st century Americans but it is one of 5 predictors of a close and meaningful relationship with Jesus. It is also important because there are dangers in being alone and benefits to being with others.
