Throughout Scripture, welcoming others is seen as a reflection of God's own welcoming nature towards humanity. This entry explores the biblical understanding of being welcomed, highlighting key passages and their implications.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, hospitality was a significant cultural and religious practice. The Hebrew word often associated with welcoming is "qabal," which can mean to receive or accept. One of the earliest examples of welcoming is found in <a href="/genesis/18.htm">Genesis 18:1-8</a>, where Abraham welcomes three visitors, who are later revealed to be messengers from God. Abraham's hospitality is characterized by eagerness and generosity, setting a standard for welcoming others.<br><br>The Law also emphasized the importance of welcoming strangers and sojourners. <a href="/leviticus/19-34.htm">Leviticus 19:34</a> states, "The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt." This command underscores the idea that welcoming others is an expression of love and obedience to God.<br><br><b>New Testament Teachings</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Greek word "dechomai" is often used to describe the act of welcoming. Jesus Christ exemplified the ultimate form of welcoming through His ministry. He welcomed sinners, tax collectors, and those marginalized by society, demonstrating God's inclusive love. In <a href="/matthew/10-40.htm">Matthew 10:40</a>, Jesus teaches, "He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me." This passage highlights the spiritual significance of welcoming others as an extension of welcoming Christ Himself.<br><br>The parable of the Prodigal Son (<a href="/luke/15-11.htm">Luke 15:11-32</a>) further illustrates the theme of welcome. The father's joyous reception of his repentant son symbolizes God's readiness to welcome back those who turn to Him in repentance.<br><br><b>The Early Church</b><br><br>The early Christian community was marked by a spirit of hospitality and welcome. <a href="/acts/2-46.htm">Acts 2:46-47</a> describes the believers as "breaking bread from house to house, they received their food with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people." This communal life was characterized by mutual acceptance and support.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also emphasized the importance of welcoming one another. In <a href="/romans/15-7.htm">Romans 15:7</a>, he writes, "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God." This exhortation calls believers to reflect Christ's welcoming nature in their relationships with others.<br><br><b>Spiritual Implications</b><br><br>Welcoming others is not merely a social courtesy but a spiritual act that reflects the heart of the Gospel. <a href="/hebrews/13-2.htm">Hebrews 13:2</a> reminds believers, "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it." This verse suggests that welcoming others can have divine significance and unexpected blessings.<br><br>In the eschatological vision of the New Jerusalem, <a href="/revelation/21-25.htm">Revelation 21:25</a> describes the gates of the city as never being shut, symbolizing the eternal welcome of God's kingdom. This imagery reinforces the idea that God's ultimate plan is to welcome His people into eternal fellowship with Him.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>For Christians today, the biblical call to welcome others challenges them to extend love and acceptance to all, regardless of background or status. This includes welcoming newcomers into the church community, showing hospitality to those in need, and embracing diversity within the body of Christ. By doing so, believers participate in the mission of God, reflecting His love and grace to the world.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Welcome.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/587.htm"><span class="l">587. apodektos -- acceptable</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Spelling: (ap-od&#39;-ek-tos) Short Definition: worthy to be received, acceptable, welcome<br> Definition: worthy to be received (<b>welcomed</b>), acceptable, welcome <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/587.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/588.htm"><span class="l">588. apodechomai -- to accept gladly, welcome</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin from apo and dechomai Definition to accept gladly, welcome NASB Word<br> Usage acknowledge (1), received (2), welcome (1), <b>welcomed</b> (1), welcoming (2). <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/588.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/5264.htm"><span class="l">5264. hupodechomai -- to receive under one&#39;s roof, to receive as a <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin from hupo and dechomai Definition to receive under one&#39;s roof, to receive<br> as a guest NASB Word Usage received (2), <b>welcomed</b> (2). receive. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/5264.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/324.htm"><span class="l">324. anadechomai -- to undertake, receive</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin from ana and dechomai Definition to undertake, receive NASB<br> Word Usage received (1), <b>welcomed</b> (1). receive, welcome. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/324.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/1209.htm"><span class="l">1209. dechomai -- to receive</span></a> <br><b>...</b> to receive NASB Word Usage accept (2), accepted (3), receive (16), received (12),<br> receives (15), take (3), taken (1), took (1), welcome (2), <b>welcomed</b> (1). <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1209.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 8k</font><p><a href="/greek/782.htm"><span class="l">782. aspazomai -- to welcome, greet</span></a> <br><b>...</b> give...your greeting (1), greet (41), greeted (3), greeting (1), greets (5), paid<br> their respects to (1), sends...greetings (4), taken...leave (1), <b>welcomed</b> (1 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/782.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/adams/hymns_for_christian_devotion/46__the_sabbath_welcomed.htm"><span class="l">The Sabbath <b>Welcomed</b>.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> INTRODUCTION AND CLOSE OF WORSHIP. 46.
