Why do Christians go to church?

Didn't really thought about the question: why do Christians go to church?

With the little that I know, we go to church because we want to know more of our Lord Jesus. We want to know our heavenly inheritance through the finished at the cross. We want to be intimate with Jesus, our God and our High Priest. We want to see more of Jesus, to have a fresh revelation of Jesus and His finished work at the cross.

With the advancement of modern technology like portable MP3 and CD players, we can now listen to sermons anywhere and almost anytime. Nowadays, almost every phone has built-in music player and that enables us to hear sermons on the go. There are sermons which are streamed through the internet as well. Simply put, we can listen to the word of Christ anywhere and anytime.

Why then do Christians still attend church regularly? Christians go to church to take advantage of the corporate anointing that is only present in the multitude of counselors. A christian go to church to fellowship with other christian. He or she is there to share the joy and peace in the Lord. Also, Christians go to church to encourage each other in his or her walk with Christ.

It is a privilege and honour to be able to attend church. In times past, Christians had to congregate secretly from house to house to read the bible, which was rare to be found, for fear of been found out by the local authorities and subsequently prosecuted by them.

Take advantage of every opportunity to attend church. You will never know when your life is completely transformed when the grace of God touches your heart. Thank God for all His anointed preachers and teachers in the church. Hallelujah!
