Hallmarks of the Transformed Life Showing hospitality

The transformed disciple shares with his needy brethren. Insight into the transformed life..

Sharing with our brethren As regards the needs of saints--sharing! The Christian’s duty is expressed with the verb form of "koinonia" which is often translated “fellowship”.

NT Examples of Fellowship And all those who had believed were together, and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions, and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need. (Acts 2:44-45) Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also. On the first day of every week let each one of you put aside and save, as he may prosper, that no collections be made when I come. (1 Corinthians 16:1-2)

We too need to look for occasions to meet the needs of our brethren! Listen carefully and you will still identify occasions when brethren may need our assistance (times of sickness, job loss). We too can help brethren who live far away! This kind of sacrificial giving brings glory to God and affirms the spiritual fellowship we have in our common life in the Lord.

The transformed disciple shows hospitality to unknown brethren. Insight into the transformed life..

Practicing hospitality As regards hospitality--pursuing it! The Greek word for hospitality “philoxenia” means “having love for strangers.”

NT Examples of Hospitality Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers; and they bear witness to your love before the church; and you will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. Therefore we ought to support such men, that we may be fellow workers with the truth. (3 John 5-8) Be hospitable to one another without complaint. (1 Peter 4:9)

NT Examples of Hospitality I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea; that you receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and that you help her in whatever matter she may have need of you; for she herself has also been a helper of many, and of myself as well. (Romans 16:1-2) Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. (Hebrews 13:2)

NT Examples of Hospitality Hospitality is made the condition of two important things in the NT church. –It is the indispensable quality of those who would lead (Tit. 1:8) –Assistance in widowhood was contingent upon whether the needy widow has herself “shown hospitality to strangers” (1 Tim. 5:10).

Has our culture eliminated the need for loving acceptance and assistance to unknown brethren? Visitors! New Families! New Converts!
