The contexts of the verses with which this article began provide us with the results of Body Life in which accountability is exercised. God designed the Body of Christ to function best when its members are there for each other in ways that spur them on and hold them responsible to the commitment they have made to follow Christ. Following are some suggestions. Accountability is best built over time and as a natural outgrowth of relationship. Accountability requires you to take risks at being transparent.
Accountability comes out of depth of relationship.
You can't stay on the surface and expect to experience the benefits. Be willing to spend time with one another. Accountability requires that people communicate with one another and that translates into time. Accountability is a learning process. Defensiveness and pride breaks it down.
