“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:11, NIV
Christian friendship is also worth pursuing. Having a solid Christian friendship or a group of people to rely on, not only in general but specifically in the faith, can provide a unique kind of encouragement and support. Some Christian friendships of this kind may revolve around faith-based activities or events such as going to church, attending or hosting a Bible study or serving in the community. However, Christian friendship can also be more informal, embodied in actions like sending a text to check in on someone or being willing to talk when someone is struggling with a problem.
In Christian fellowship as described in the Bible, people are treated with love. Romans 12:10 says, “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” Showing love and encouragement is priceless in Christian connections and relationships.
