Which text serves as a reminder that regular gathering with the community of faith is part of following Jesus?

• A. Matthew 18:20
• B. Hebrews 10:24-25
• C. Philippians 4:9
• D. Colossians 4:2

Answer: (B)

Regular gathering with the faith community is part of following Jesus. Hebrews 10:24-25 urges believers to consider how to stir one another to love and good deeds and to not neglect meeting together, as some are inclined to do, but to encourage one another—especially as the Day approaches. This emphasis on continual, regular assemblies shows that life in Christ is sustained and strengthened through communal worship, accountability, and mutual support. The passage places gathering as a deliberate practice for spiritual growth and perseverance in the Christian walk. Other verses touch on related ideas—Jesus’ presence with believers when they gather in his name, or broader calls to practice teachings and prayer—but they do not capture the explicit reminder to regularly assemble as a core habit of following Jesus in the same direct way Hebrews 10:24-25 does.
