Hospitality in vocational service integrating biblical world…

In the NIV, Romans 12:9-21 is subtitled, Love in Action. This section follows earlier verses which charges Christians not to be conformed to the world, but to be transformed by the renewing of [the] mind (12:2)presumably this transformation should then work its way out into our lived lives. With this context set, Paul encourages his audience to live love in action. One of the ways he lists is to, Practice Hospitality (12:13b). This charge is simple, profound, and a unique hallmark in the picture he presents of a loving Christian community.
