Importance of Having a Religious Circle of Friends - House of Mercy Christian Assembly UK

There’s no doubt that the surroundings easily influence a person that they are in. Regardless of a person’s age, they are more prone to taking on the environment and absorbing what it constantly shows them. This is basic human psychology.

As God commands us always to be a good person, it’s important that not only do we develop good habits, but we also develop a good surrounding as well. How can we do that? By making friends that are on the same path of spiritual redemption as yours.

The following verse highlights the importance of having good friends:

“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” – John 15:12-13

Let’s have a look at how you can benefit from having a religious group of friends.

Whether it is religion or any other field of study, surrounding yourself with people with a higher knowledge level than yours will benefit you. You’ll be exposed to new information, making it easier for you to attain it rather than having to make many efforts.

Whether it’s Christian youth camps or a Sunday service, there are various places you can find people to connect with.

The path to discovering yourself purifying your soul might have some difficult parts. In these stages, you might lack the motivation to continue. The worldly affairs might be luring you back, but having a religious circle of friends will help you stay on your path.

Just seeing them developing good habits and coming closer to God might help you realize that it’s a long journey, and there are bound to be some hurdles, but overcoming these is what truly makes you a good, devoted Christian.

If you’ve decided to complete several verses from the bible, your friends might be there to compare yourself. They can also help you set a benchmark and, in turn, motivate you to achieve your personal goals.

“This is my command: Love each other.” – John 15:17

At the House of Mercy Christian Assembly, you can find many like-minded people who would love to guide you and share their knowledge with you.
