“Missing In Action”

Wednesday, February 20, 2019

     Do you have to go to church to go to heaven?  I know you have to be saved, which I am, but I don’t go to church.  I read my Bible, so will I go to hell if I don’t go to church?

Sincerely,
Absent

Dear Absent,

The Bible teaches that we shouldn’t forsake the assembly (Heb 10:24-25).  God designed the church so that each individual would be strengthened by the power of the whole (Eph 4:16).  God never wanted christians to try and serve Him without the support of a local church; that is why He commanded the church to assemble.  It is impossible to do God’s work without being a part of a local church.  If you would like help finding a faithful congregation in your area, e-mail us at askyourpreacher@mvchurchofchrist.org.
