Some people shy away from the concept of accountability because they associate it with confrontation. While rebuking, challenging, warning, and admonishing may be necessary at times, accountability also yields support, counsel, encouragement, and affirmation.
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! (Eccl. 4:10)
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. (Eccl. 4:12)
There are benefits beyond the support described in Ecclesiastes 4. The verses listed below provide us with the results of Body Life in which accountability is exercised.
