This short epistle deals with one specific problem: the reception and aid of the brethren who will be passing through as they perform their deeds of ministry. In short, this epistle is about the importance of hospitality.
It is not what we escape, but what we gain, by going to heaven that thrills our souls. It is not our desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that moves us to seek its residence.
This is the “Charity Chapter” in the Bible. Charity specifically refers to the love that we have toward other men.
For by grace we are saved.
Our walk in the world is important, but just as important is our walk among other believers.
