Hebrews 3:13 (NKJV) but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Did you know that we are to exhort each other daily?
Exhort: to incite by argument or advice : urge strongly : to give warnings or advice : make urgent appeals
We are instructed to give each other warnings, make urgent appeals to each other, advise each other and urge each other to do the right thing.
We are to hold each other accountable and help each other stay on track.
This doesn’t mean that we are to go around judging each other, accusing each other or stirring up trouble.
But it does mean that we need to hold each other accountable when one of us gets off track. We need to urge our wayward brothers and sisters in Christ, lovingly but firmly, to do the right thing, to get back on track and to honor God with their lives.
It might not always be easy to do this and sometimes there is a fine line between exhorting and meddling, but if we let God speak to us and show us when to speak and when to pull back, He will be able to use us to help many people.
So be prepared to exhort others and be prepared to be exhorted by others. It works both ways and we all need a little adjustment once in a while.
