The Importance of Accountability
If we aren't wanting to be held accountable then we
are leaving ourselves open to falling for the temptation Satan throws at
us. Satan knows what makes you stumble. Satan knows what will make you
fall. Satan knows what will draw you further away from God and the rest
of the flock. That is when Satan can attack (see 1 Peter 5:8).
When
we are being held accountable we are able to help strengthen the body
of Christ. If I am stumbling and do not care then I can cause another
brother or sister to stumble. We see in Hebrews 10:24-25 that we need to
"spur one another toward love and good deeds." We need to meet together
and "encourage one another." The stronger we are as units the stronger
the body of Christ is.
When I am going through a
tough time it is amazing to be able to get a phone call or a text from a
brother in Christ who can listen to my bad days. It is amazing to have
brothers in Christ who will pray for me and with me. They will also keep me in check when I fall to sin (James 5:16), be it intentional or unintentional. Accountability is a big part of the Christian walk.
