How do we know that entertaining strangers can lead to spiritual blessings?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture illustrates that acts of hospitality can yield unexpected blessings, as demonstrated through biblical accounts like Abraham's encounter with angels.

The act of entertaining strangers can lead to significant spiritual blessings, as illustrated in Hebrews and the accounts of biblical figures like Abraham. In Genesis 18, Abraham welcomed three strangers into his home, not knowing they were divine messengers. His hospitality resulted in the announcement of God's promise regarding his son, a reflection of the blessings that flow from serving others. This aligns with the teaching in Hebrews 13:2, where it is stated that some have entertained angels unawares, indicating that our acts of kindness may have deeper, unseen implications. Furthermore, God's assurance that He is not unjust to forget our works of love (Hebrews 6:10) underlines that the acts we perform today will echo in eternity, as they are seen and rewarded by Him. This motivates believers to be fervent in hospitality, knowing it can pave the way for profound encounters with the divine.
