Greetings in biblical times were more than mere formalities; they were expressions of peace, respect, and fellowship among individuals and communities. The New Testament, in particular, provides numerous examples and instructions regarding greetings, reflecting the early Christian emphasis on love, unity, and hospitality. Old Testament Context While the Old Testament does not emphasize greetings as explicitly as the New Testament, it does provide instances where greetings are significant. For example, in <a href="/genesis/18-2.htm">Genesis 18:2-5</a>, Abraham greets the three visitors with hospitality, offering them water, rest, and food. This act of greeting is not only a demonstration of Abraham's character but also a reflection of the cultural norms of hospitality and respect. New Testament Instructions and Examples The New Testament contains numerous references to greetings, often highlighting their importance in the life of the early church. The Apostle Paul frequently includes greetings in his epistles, both at the beginning and the end, as a way to foster community and express personal affection. 1. <a href="/romans/16-16.htm">Romans 16:16</a> · "Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ send you greetings." This verse underscores the practice of greeting with a "holy kiss," a cultural expression of love and unity among believers. The "holy kiss" was a sign of mutual acceptance and fellowship within the body of Christ. 2. <a href="/1_corinthians/16-20.htm">1 Corinthians 16:20</a> · "All the brothers and sisters here send you greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss." Similar to Romans, this passage reiterates the importance of greeting one another warmly, reflecting the familial bond among Christians. 3. <a href="/2_corinthians/13-12.htm">2 Corinthians 13:12</a> · "Greet one another with a holy kiss." Again, Paul emphasizes the practice of greeting with a holy kiss, reinforcing the theme of unity and love within the church. 4. <a href="/philippians/4-21.htm">Philippians 4:21</a> · "Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings." Here, Paul instructs the Philippians to greet all the saints, indicating the inclusivity and communal nature of Christian greetings. 5. <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-26.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:26</a> · "Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss." This instruction further highlights the importance of maintaining close, affectionate relationships within the Christian community. Cultural and Spiritual Significance In the biblical context, greetings were not merely social niceties but carried deep spiritual significance. They were expressions of peace (shalom) and goodwill, often accompanied by blessings. The act of greeting was a way to acknowledge the presence and worth of another person, reflecting the biblical principles of love, respect, and community. The practice of greeting with a "holy kiss" or other forms of affectionate greeting served to break down social barriers and foster a sense of equality and unity among believers. It was a tangible expression of the new identity and relationships formed in Christ, transcending cultural, social, and ethnic divisions. Practical Application for Believers For contemporary believers, the biblical emphasis on greetings serves as a reminder of the importance of fostering genuine relationships within the church and the broader community. Greetings should be sincere expressions of love and respect, reflecting the unity and fellowship that believers share in Christ. Whether through a handshake, a hug, or a verbal greeting, the act of greeting remains a vital aspect of Christian witness and community life.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
