In Acts 2:46 the believers continued steadfastly in their meeting life in the temple and from house to house. The word "steadfastly" means that we, the believers, should be fixed, unchanging, constant, unswerving, and firmly loyal to our meeting life.
Hebrews 10:25 also says, "Not abonding our own assembling together, as the custom with some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more as you see the day drawing near." We should continue to meet until the Lord's coming back. Those who love His appearing should never stop meeting. Wether we can receive a reward or discipline depends on how healthy our church life or meeting life is. Our proper church Life today will become our reward in the millennial kingdom.
As the Lord's coming is drawing near, the world's evil is also increasing, worldly things and affairs frustrate us from having a proper church life and cause us to be discouraged. Many things around us can make our heart cold. Without the meetings we cannot survive, just as the fish dies without being in the water. Hence, meetings are crucial to our Christian life. In every meeting we receive an exhortation and supply to encourage us to go on. Meetings also incite us or stir us up to love the Lord and do good works. We need to be good imitators by imitating those who are faithful and absolute in attending Christian meetings. Our meeting life today will cause us to meet the Lord face-to-face in a glorious way.
