Encouragement plays a key role in the key responsibility Jesus left for us to complete by His gracious help. We are to make disciples, and we do so largely by encouraging one another. We encourage one another to read the Bible. We encourage one another to pray. We encourage one another to serve God’s kingdom. We encourage one another to lovingly obey. We encourage one another to believe and live out the truths of the gospel. We encourage one another to trust Jesus more fully in more areas of our lives. Our faith strengthens and spreads as we stir up each other’s affections for knowing, enjoying and glorifying God.
