In today’s fast-paced world, many individuals seek a relationship with God that fits within their personal lives, leading to a growing number of people choosing to read their Bibles at home instead of attending church.
These individuals often believe that they can foster a deep, personal, and loving relationship with God through personal study, reflection, and prayer without the need for a structured religious community.
On the other hand, many argue that the Christian community, as found in church attendance, is not only beneficial but also necessary for spiritual growth.
This tension raises a profound question: Is it possible to cultivate a fulfilling relationship with God without going to church?
For those who prefer to read their Bibles privately, the emphasis is on the individual’s direct connection with God. These individuals often believe that the Bible, being God's Word, provides everything one needs to understand God’s character, His love, and His will. Through personal prayer, meditation, and study, they feel they can achieve a close and meaningful relationship with the Divine.
This perspective is not without merit. Many scriptural examples highlight personal encounters with God outside of religious institutions.
