The term "receiveth" is an archaic form of the verb "receive," often found in older translations of the Bible. It signifies the act of accepting, welcoming, or taking something that is offered or given. In the context of Scripture, "receiveth" is used to describe various forms of acceptance, whether it be of God's word, His blessings, or His people. The concept of receiving is integral to the Christian faith, as it underscores the relationship between God and humanity, as well as the interactions among believers.

Receiving God's Word and Salvation

In the New Testament, the act of receiving is frequently associated with accepting the message of the Gospel and the salvation offered through Jesus Christ. John 1:12 states, "But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God." This verse highlights the transformative power of receiving Christ, which grants believers the status of God's children.

The parable of the sower, found in Matthew 13, further illustrates the importance of receiving God's word. In this parable, the seed that falls on good soil represents those who hear the word and understand it, leading to a fruitful life. Matthew 13:23 says, "But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold."

Receiving the Holy Spirit

The reception of the Holy Spirit is another critical aspect of the Christian experience. In Acts 2:38 , Peter instructs the crowd, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." This promise underscores the necessity of receiving the Holy Spirit as part of the believer's spiritual journey and empowerment for Christian living.

Receiving One Another

The New Testament also emphasizes the importance of receiving fellow believers. Romans 15:7 exhorts, "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God." This call to mutual acceptance reflects the unity and love that should characterize the body of Christ. Similarly, in Matthew 10:40 , Jesus teaches, "He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me," indicating that receiving fellow believers is akin to receiving Christ Himself.

Receiving God's Blessings and Rewards

The concept of receiving is also linked to the blessings and rewards that God bestows upon His people. In Matthew 7:8 , Jesus assures, "For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." This promise encourages believers to approach God with confidence, knowing that He is a generous giver.

Furthermore, the faithful are promised rewards for their service and obedience. In Matthew 10:41 , Jesus states, "Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward." This highlights the principle that God honors those who honor His servants.

Conclusion

The act of receiving, as depicted in the Bible, is a multifaceted concept that encompasses the acceptance of God's word, the Holy Spirit, fellow believers, and divine blessings. It is a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith, reflecting the openness and receptivity that believers are called to embody in their relationship with God and others.
