Ten Reason Why We Should Love The Church? #2

Yesterday I started a new mini-series giving reasons why we ought to LOVE the church.  Here is a second reason for your consideration today:

2. It demonstrates faithfulness to the Word of God!

-The two greatest commandments in Scripture are:  
 "'and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these" (Mark 12:30-31).  
Loving God and loving one another are not "optional" for believers, but rather they are commands. When God’s people obey these commands, it simply reveals their desire to be faithful to His Word!  And one of the key ways in which these two commands are fulfilled is when we gather as the redeemed to worship God and serve one another.
