What Does a Strong Christian Look Like? | Romans 15 Explained

Send us Fan MailWhat does Romans 15 teach about strong Christians, weak Christians, offense, unity, and putting others before ourselves?Paul continues the argument from Romans 14 by showing that spiritual strength is not about winning arguments or insisting on our rights. The strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, build others up, and pursue the kind of unity Jesus Himself prayed for.In this study of Romans 15, we look at what it means to live in harmony with other believers, why Christians should be careful about judging one another over opinions, and how Jesus modeled a life that did not seek to please Himself.We also explore: What Paul means by the strong and the weak  Why being easily offended can reveal spiritual weakness  The command to build one another up  Why Christian unity matters so much to God  Jesus as the ultimate example of laying down His rights  God’s purpose for Jews and Gentiles in Christ  The believer’s hope through the Holy Spirit  Why Christians are called to teach and encourage one another  Paul’s calling to preach where Christ had not been named  How the early church supported the poor and funded evangelism  Why believers should pray for persecuted Christians around the world Romans 15 gives us a picture of Christian maturity: laying down our own rights, pursuing the good of our brothers and sisters, walking faithfully in our calling, and glorifying God together with one voice. Join the Skool community: https://www.skool.com/estero-ekklesia-1658Support the Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394920/support   Support the show
