Before God, motives are weighed. It is not enough to do something because others are doing it.

Because, when it comes to spiritual things, it is more profitable to do things with right motives.

I have already written on SIX WRONG REASONS FOR ATTENDING CHURCH. Please read it, if you have not read it. Here, we shall see the scriptural reasons for attending church. This is beyond tradition.

That is why many people have gone to church for many years and never experienced any spiritual growth.

Because they attended church with the wrong reasons. Motive matters a lot. Don’t just go to church because your friends are also going.


This write-up will help you to know what God expects from you as you fellowship together with the saints.

Just pore over this article as every written word is inspired by the Spirit of the Lord to bless you.

Scriptural Reasons For Attending Church

• Attend Church In Order To Be Exhorted
Hebrews 10:25
[25]Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but EXHORTING ONE ANOTHER: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

To be exhorted means to urge, implore and to advise earnestly. There is nothing wrong with you if you go to church with an expectation to be motivated by God’s Word.

One of the reasons why some people commit suicide is that they lack the Word of encouragement.

The encouragement that is needed by them to move on in life, they didn’t access it.

However, the good news is that the church of Christ gives you an avenue and platform to be motivated and urged.

There are several ministrations that usually take place in the church. That will bless you and spur you into action.

For example, song ministrations, impartation, teaching of the Word, drama, prayers and so on. There is no way you cannot be blessed by any of these aforementioned ministrations.

Summarily, it is necessary for you to go to church in order to be exhorted. And it is one of the good reasons for attending church.



• Attend A Church To Prepare For The Lord’s Coming
Hebrews 10:25

[25]Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, AS YE SEE THE DAY APPROACHING.

It is incumbent upon me to remind you of rapture — the catching away of the saints into heaven.

And there is no better place where you can hear the teachings that will make you prepare for the rapture, than the church.

They won’t tell you how to prepare for the Lord’s coming in clubhouse. The proper place to receive the sound teachings that will spur you into preparation is the church.

Therefore, one of the right reasons for attending church; is to get oneself prepared for the Lord’s coming.

In church, you will be taught how to live in order to be rapturous. You will be taught what is required of you to make heaven. And some other basic truths you need to know.

Sincerely, something is wrong with you and your church if your only reason for attending church is because of wealth acquisition.

Truthfully, you don’t go to church because you want to be wealthy.

The core duty of the church is to prepare the saints for the Lord’s coming.

Any church you attend that is not in anyway preparing you for rapture is a false church. Leave that kind of church.

Go to church in order to get prepared for the Lord’s coming.



• Attend A Church In Order To Hear God’s Word
Ecclesiastes 5:1

[1]Keep thy foot when thou goest to the HOUSE OF GOD, and BE MORE READY TO HEAR, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

God said here that; whenever we find ourselves in the house of God we should be more receptive.

We should be ready to listen than to offer sacrifice of fools.

Although, the house of God is the body of a believer in the New Testament.

Linguistically, the church I am referring to here is the place where we worship every Sunday.

Theologically, the church means the called out. It refers to those who are called out of the kingdom of darkness.

But for the sake of this teaching. Linguistically, Let’s stick to church as being a place of worship.

You should go to church because you want to learn from the Word of the Lord. The Word of God is replete with a lot of teachings and that will benefit our lives.
