A Chief Purpose Of Why We Gather Together.

 

Today's Verse is Nehemiah 8:8

So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.

    We must understand that one of the main purposes of the Church, that is the gathering together of the Saints of God, is we might unified in the faith, even of the knowledge of the Son of God, and it is for this purpose God has given to us some, apostles; and some, prophets; [these are believed to be for the establishing of God word, of which the canon is closed] and some, pastors and teachers[.] Now we have in Nehemiah the example by which these pastors and teacher ought to use, that by God’s Word they ought to base their instruction giving the sense and enabling us to understand what God wants from us. So, when we assemble together, let us pay attention to the reading of God’s Word, and the message prepared from it, always searching the scriptures seeing whether these things are so. Amen.

To God be the Glory
