Welcoming visitors to the church is not only an act of kindness, but it also reflects the love of Christ and can help to create a welcoming and inclusive community of believers.
Jesus called his disciples so they can expand God’s kingdom by establishing churches over the world. Believers should welcome new members to the church so they can get the chance to hear God’s word.
Hearing God’s word one can put faith in the Lord. So we must take care of welcoming people into the church. Let us look at the following Bible verses that will encourage us to do hard work for God’s kingdom’s sake.
