3 John 1:7
Gospel workers rely on the faithful support of the church as they carry the message of Christ into the world.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
Gospel workers rely on the faithful support of the church as they carry the message of Christ into the world.
To explain why traveling gospel workers depend on the support of believers, since they carry the mission of Christ without relying on those outside the faith.
Traveling teachers and missionaries often depended on the hospitality of believers. Accepting support from fellow Christians ensured that the integrity of their ministry remained clear and prevented misunderstanding regarding their motives.
Walking in the Truth Through Faithful Hospitality
The truth of Christ must be walked, welcomed, defended, and embodied in humble fellowship rather than obstructed by prideful control.
