“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16 NASB
In context, Christ was referring to discipline (training), for purposes of restorating a brother or sister from sin. This could be used for fellowship or worship as well, that Christ would be there.
For where two or have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”
Matthew 18:20 NASB
Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2 NASB
Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NASB
If there is no fruit, you will be taken away. That is not a place you want to be. Pray that the Lord would help you fully see that you might produce fruit. If you are bearing fruit (true believers), the sin in your life will be pruned away, that you may produce more fruit! How great for those who believe, to have God help us, throw off the sins that hold us back. This is a process, that does not happen over night. May we hand over to God, those sins, so that we might not have to go through the painful process of pruning as much. Let us hope for and wait, for that day when we are called home, to be fully complete, lacking in nothing!
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
John 15:2 NASB
God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 1:27 NASB
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24 NASB
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 11:15 NASB
Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord , And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:6-7 NASB
