encouragement
I have to admit, personal accountability (as in FITNESS FOR FRIENDS group) and friends who remind and encourage me to work out and stay active, help keep me more active and committed to physical activities than I would be without them.
This is true in the spiritual realm as well. We must set our mind on spiritual attainment and faithfulness, but it also helps to be encouraged by fellow believers. There is no substitute for personal commitment or mutual edification.
