How Do I Make It in Life?

The Answer: Not by yourself.

James 5:16

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

There should be mutual accountability and support among the community of believers.

We can never fool God. God knows that you sometimes try to dodge accountability to him by missing out of fellowship, you think (mistakenly) that he won’t notice your backsliding if you can manage to avoid personal interaction with God.

It doesn’t work! Just because God is invisible doesn’t mean he’s absent.

God knew all along that you would need. That’s In-Your-Face- Alternative for your accountability.

That’s why he intended for you to be apart of a community of believers who provide spiritual re-inforcement, guidance, and adjustment for each other.

You need other believers who can encourage and correct you.

Application
