Union with Christ is the central doctrine of how God dwells with us. That union is the work of the Holy Spirit, sent from Christ’s throne in glory. We are not only united to Christ as our representative, living, dying and rising for us; we are also united to Christ vitally by the presence of His Spirit. He has not left us as orphans. He comes to us, and He dwells among us in our hearts and in our gatherings as His church.

Great message and right to the heart of what is needed in the lives of Christians who compose to create the Church.  I believe we as ministers/preachers/pastors are at times eager to encourage "commitment" to attendance ... knowing it is good for others, be it preaching, worship, sunday school, etc.  But as you have pointed out ... if the real commitment does not take us into a deeper life walk with Christ ... the attendance will not cut it alone.

Thanks so much for sharing!  I will print this one off and tuck away and or share it with several in the church I pastor.
