Romans 14-16
from Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike Hosted by Murphy Eyenike
Paul concludes the book of Romans with a strong charge to all of us; "We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves. We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. For even Christ didn’t live to please himself. As the Scriptures say, “The insults of those who insult you, O God, have fallen on me.” Romans 15:1-3 NLT. The Christian way is the strength of the whole, not one. It is good to be strong; in faith, in values, in character, and that is okay, but God desires it for the entire body, not just one part. Those of us that are strong or claim to must learn to consider those who have weak and sensitive and developing. That is how the body works anyway. "Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory. " Romans 15:7 NLT. Our goal must always be, if God accepts them, then I do to. Lastly, Paul concludes this letter by greeting his friends and even in this, he has a message for us. Paul accepted all believers not minding their gender. He also, contrary to what many have alluded, accepted and pastored with several female leaders in the churches.
