What does the Bible say about worthy houses?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that a worthy house is one that receives the gospel and the peace of God.

In Matthew 10:11-13, Jesus instructs His disciples to seek out those who are worthy when they enter a town. A worthy house is characterized by its willingness to receive the peace of God. If the house is deserving, the disciples are to let their peace rest upon it; if not, they are to take their peace back. This implies that only those who accept the gospel and acknowledge their unworthiness can be considered worthy of God's blessings. Being 'worthy' is therefore tied to a recognition of one's own guilt and need for grace.
