Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
Acts 2:44-47

Consider the eighth of eight aspects of Christian fellowship in the Church from Acts 2:44-47:

8. Church members saw “people being added to the church” (v.47). Every individual must receive Christ on his or her own. However, everyone who is saved individually, immediately becomes a member of Christ’s Church. Most true believers unite with a “local church” of like-minded believers where they can worship together, pray together, learn and grow together, serve together, and evangelize the lost together.

While most believers unite with a local church, some do not. Why? Maybe there are no churches with which to unite. That is not a problem in America. While there are no perfect churches, there are churches. Others may not unite with a church because they do not realize they need to. Maybe they do not want to. The reality is, however, whether or not one wants to unite with a church, we all need to. Why? Besides for the practical reasons listed in the previous paragraph of this article:

Jesus came to “save His people from their sins.” “His” and “their” are plural. Jesus didn’t come merely to save individuals, but “a people” for Himself.

The letters in the New Testament (including Revelation) were written to churches—except for Philemon (who had a church meeting in his house), the two letters to Timothy, and the one to Titus (who were pastors of churches). Clearly, Christianity is “group activity” called “church!”

Christians together are called Christ’s “body” (made of many different parts) and Christ’s “Bride.” And one day Jesus will return for a “bride” (singular, comprised of many members), not for a “harem” of individual lovers.

A blessing of Christian fellowship is witnessing Church members “being added to the church.” (v.47)
