Chip Ingram Asks, Why Is Encouragement So Important?
Because God Commands It
Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Because Sin Is Deceitful
But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
Hebrews 3:13
Because Spiritual Growth Requires It
and we sent Timothy, our brother and God's fellow worker in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you as to your faith,
1 Thessalonians 3:2
Because We Lose Perspective So Easily
I do not speak to condemn you, for I have said before that you are in our hearts to die together and to live to live together. Great is my confidence in you; great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort; I am overflowing with joy in all our affliction. For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side: conflicts without, fears within. But God, who comforts the depressed, comforted us by the coming of Titus; and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more.
2 Corinthians 7:3-7
