We all come together to make up the body of Christ. Irrespective of our tribes, backgrounds, or our previous beliefs, when we come together in respect of the Lord we make up a body. We make up the church.
Ephesians 3:6 - That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel
When we gather together, it is important to know how to behave.
1 Timothy 3:15 - But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
The gathering of the brethren is not some activity that you take casual. Whenever we come together as a body, it is important to know the manner you should behave. In the house of God one thing that should never be found lacking is orderliness. We need to know how to maintain order.
We don't behave anyhow we want when in the presence of God. We need to accord Him maximum respect. Certain things and behaviours should not be seen in the church if of a truth they are gathered in the name of the Lord.
We must honour the creator of the heaven and the earth, we must reverence Him whenever we come before His presence.
If we are to accomplish purpose as one in the body of Christ, we must love each other as Christ loved us.
The right behaviour in the Church of God is very important because it will allow for the smooth flow of the power of God.
