What does the Bible say about the isolation of Christians?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible depicts Christians straying from community as akin to a lamb alone in a wilderness, vulnerable and without support.
The biblical metaphor of a lamb in a large place illustrates the state of Christians who stray from fellowship and community. Such isolation is perilous, as evidenced in the depiction of a lamb vulnerable to predators and hardships. Without the protection and nourishment provided in the fold, these Christians wander in spiritual danger and are left to fend for themselves, which leads to a state of lamentation and need, as expressed in Song of Solomon 1:7, where the church longs for the companionship and care of the Shepherd. This highlights the importance of remaining connected within the body of Christ for spiritual safety and sustenance.
