How does God expect His church to respond to His messengers?

Answered in 1 source

God expects His church to honor and receive His messengers as they represent His Word and authority.

In Mark 12, the parable illustrates that God's messengers, sent with His message, are to be respected and received. The history of Israel shows a pattern of rejecting prophets and messengers, which ultimately reflects a rejection of God Himself. The church today must heed this warning; it is called to respect and receive those who are appointed to preach God’s Word. Failing to do this not only jeopardizes the congregation’s relationship with God but can also result in the nurturing of spiritual apathy and disobedience. Thus, the way a church regards its messengers can significantly impact its spiritual health and status before God.
