Hebrews 3:13
13 You must warn each other every day, while it is still “today,” so that none of you will be deceived by sin and hardened against God.
James 5:19
19 My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back,
Hebrews 13:17
17 Obey your spiritual leaders, and do what they say. Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God. Give them reason to do this with joy and not with sorrow. That would certainly not be for your benefit.
A church family will help keep you from backsliding.
None of us are immune to temptation. Given the right situation, you and I are capable of any sin. God knows this, so he has assigned us as individuals the responsibility of keeping each other on track.
The Bible says, "Encourage one another daily so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." (Hebrews 3:13 NIV)
We are called and commanded to be involved in each other's lives. If you know someone who is wavering spiritually right now, it is your responsibility to go after that person and bring him/her back into the fellowship.
James tells us, "If you know people who have wandered off from God's truth, don't write them off. Go after them. Get them back." (James 5:19 MSG)
A related benefit of a local church is that it also provides the spiritual protection of godly leaders. God gives the shepherd leader the responsibility to guard, protect, defend, and care for the spiritual welfare of his flock.
We are told, "Their work is to watch over your souls, and they know they are accountable to God." (Hebrews 13:17 NLT)
Satan loves detached believers, unplugged from the life of the Body, isolated from God's family, and unaccountable to spiritual leaders -- because he knows they are defenseless and powerless against his tactics.

When we get off track, that's satan's time to pull you even farther away.
As one big family, we must not just watch ourselves but also over the being of others. We are stronger when we all move as a whole and hold each other together as one big and strong army.
There are so many people that are off track and that's when we must do our part and point them back to God.
It is difficult to bear the journey alone, that's why we have a big, loving, and faithful group which will support all of us and stay as strong children of God.
