Bible Question (short): How do we receive Him? As Guest/Owner? |
Question (full): How do we receive Him, as Guest? as Owner of the house? Is there a difference? How does each response glorify Him? Explain. Is there a problem if we respond in just one way - either/or vs both/and? What results might we expect? Please support your answers with Scripture - thanks!
