Owing to the bitter persecution to which they were exposed the tendency to return to Judaism had arisen, so that they might escape any pressure from outside, whether from the world or Jews.

The habit of neglecting gathering together had clearly increased among them. A lack of real satisfaction and joy in one's faith can easily lead to diminishing interest in spiritual matters, while the neglect of spiritual food causes one's joy in the Lord to wane. This fateful vicious circle can only be brought to an end by a decisive return to the things of the Lord.

Such concern will never find its expression in unfeeling criticism, but in a faithful example, through which, in seeking out others and bringing the Person and work of the Lord Jesus before them, one can serve them in a spirit of true love.
