I consider this example I used in a conversation I had with a brother yesterday.
My son just finished third grade. Whenever he has a test to always double0check his work. There is always the possibility something was overlooked or a problem was incorrectly answered. Double-checking the work affords my son the opportunity to correct his mistakes.
Likewise we as brothers and sisters in the Lord are not perfect. We are prone to error. When we realize the potential of being wrong, having fellowship with others may help expose what needs correcting and adjusting through the Lord.
