If you've been exploring or living out your faith for some time, you likely have heard the phrase “biblical community.” This phrase is tossed around often in Christian circles, but it's not always communicated well to new believers. 

That's why we're going to answer the following questions:

• ​What is biblical community?

• What are the characteristics of biblical community?

• What does it look like to be in biblical community?

 

Biblical community is doing life together with other Christians in a way that reflects the love of God to a watching world. In biblical community, we are to…

• Encourage each other

• Meet together

• Hold each other accountable

• Pray for each other

• Care for each other

• Speak life into each other

• Study God's Word together

• Grow in faith together

 

The Apostle Paul wrote most of the New Testament. His writings consisted of letters to different churches during various times of their growth. In short, his letters were instructions on how to live and grow in biblical community! 

 

Paul's letters… Encouraged and challenged early Christians to live in a way that reflected Jesus, taught them how to be a witness and spread the gospel to an unbelieving world, and instructed them on how to work out differences and build strong relationships His letters answer the question “What is biblical community?”
