The act of receiving is often portrayed as a virtue, reflecting one's openness to God's will, the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of believers. Hospitality and Acceptance In the context of hospitality, receiving others is a significant biblical theme. In the Old Testament, Abraham's reception of the three visitors in <a href="/genesis/18.htm">Genesis 18:1-8</a> exemplifies the virtue of hospitality. Abraham's eagerness to welcome and serve his guests is seen as an act of righteousness and reverence. In the New Testament, Jesus emphasizes the importance of receiving others in His teachings. In <a href="/matthew/10-40.htm">Matthew 10:40-42</a> , Jesus states, "He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me." This passage highlights the interconnectedness of receiving Christ's messengers and, by extension, receiving Christ Himself and God the Father. The act of receiving is thus elevated to a spiritual level, where it becomes a means of participating in the divine mission. Receiving Divine Gifts and Teachings The Bible frequently speaks of receiving divine gifts, such as the Holy Spirit, grace, and salvation. In <a href="/acts/2-38.htm">Acts 2:38</a> , Peter instructs the crowd, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Here, receiving the Holy Spirit is contingent upon repentance and baptism, signifying a transformative acceptance of God's promise. The reception of God's word is another critical aspect. In <a href="/james/1-21.htm">James 1:21</a> , believers are encouraged to "humbly receive the word planted in you, which can save your souls." This reception is not passive but involves an active engagement with the teachings of Scripture, leading to spiritual growth and salvation. Faith and Belief Receiving is also closely linked to faith and belief. In <a href="/john/1-12.htm">John 1:12</a> , it is written, "But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God." This verse underscores the necessity of receiving Christ through faith as the pathway to becoming part of God's family. The act of receiving here is synonymous with believing, illustrating the intimate connection between faith and acceptance. The Role of the Community The early Christian community is depicted as a place where receiving one another is vital for unity and growth. In <a href="/romans/15-7.htm">Romans 15:7</a> , Paul exhorts, "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God." The mutual reception among believers is a reflection of Christ's acceptance of each individual, fostering a community that glorifies God through its unity and love. Warnings Against Rejection Conversely, the Bible warns against the rejection of God's messengers and teachings. In <a href="/matthew/10-14.htm">Matthew 10:14</a> , Jesus instructs His disciples, "If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet." This act symbolizes the seriousness of rejecting the message of the Gospel and the consequences that follow. In summary, the biblical concept of "receives" encompasses a range of actions and attitudes that reflect one's openness to God, His teachings, and His people. It is a theme that underscores the importance of acceptance, faith, and community in the life of a believer.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2816.htm">2816. kleronomeo -- to inherit</a> ... assigned (alloted) by the Lord.
