Is church attendance really that important? Is it okay for a Christian to not attend church? Jesus said that He will build His church (Matt. 16:18) and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Jesus’ Church was built upon the apostles Peter, John, Paul, and the remaining apostles. He would not build a church only to have members scatter everywhere to their homes. If you believe that church membership is optional then you do not understand scripture. Jesus will come some day and take away the church. He has a great feast prepared for the church which is described as a bride. There will be the great marriage feast of the church to the Lamb of God. He does not marry a single, solitaire member. The whole church is the bride of Christ. He marries the church and then they rejoice at the wedding feast and for all eternity. If you fail to attend a Bible believing church and you are a born-again Christian, the Lord may chasten you and correct you since He chastens every one of His children (Heb. 12:6). If you are not, find a Bible believing church where the Word of God is taught, where Christ is the center of worship, and where you can become part of the body of Christ. Then at Christ’s return, you can be with Him forever in eternal joy and fellowship. I pray that you do. And if you are a Christian, let this serve as a biblical lesson; you should not be forsaking the assembling of yourselves. God desires to have you in a church. He commands it. So go find one.
