Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:5).
In Christianity, we're not In a club or a social fraternity; we belong to a spiritual family of God, and must function actively therein. Some Christians got into serious problems in life because of their ignorance of this truth. When Satan seeks to attack a Christian, he first lures that one away from the family of God; he isolates the individual to make him vulnerable. This is a long-time strategy of the enemy.
It parallels the strategy used by the lion against its prey. Lions are said to be the strongest and most ferocious of animals, but they're not the biggest, neither are they the smartest. When they want to go after a herd of cattle, for instance, they know they'll be no match for those huge animals with long sharp horns. So, what do they do? They harass the herd in a bid to isolate one of them, and look out for that one that goes astray.
Once they can cut one off from the herd, or identify one that has gone astray, they focus their attack on it. The lions don't just pounce on all of the cattle; that'll be suicidal. The devil knows that too. He's scared of you, and wouldn't take on all at once, except the one who has strayed or isolated himself from the spiritual family, the protective hedge of the Church.
They provide the opportunity for us to strengthen ourselves in the presence of the Lord. As you share and fellowship with other Christians who believe the Word like you, you're fortified.
Stay in the Church; stay in fellowship with God's people. There isn't any one of us who doesn't need the other. We need one another. Our opening verse says we're built up by God as a spiritual house. It's not talking about a physical building; it's referring to our lives as God's people. You belong in a spiritual family; never isolate yourself.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for making me a member of your spiritual family, where I'm taught the Word, trained in righteousness, and strengthened to prevail over all of life's challenges. I live triumphantly today, and always, perfected by your Word, and the Spirit, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Now if you're yet to give your life to Jesus Christ, now is the time because you cannot get to function in this beautiful family if you are not born again yet.
Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth and the life, no one goes to the father except by Him- Jesus Christ.

"O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He's alive today.

I'm now a child of God. Hallelujah!"
