Accepting Others Just What Jesus Did
Title: Accepting Others Just What Jesus Did
Bible Passage: Romans 14:1-13, 19
Message: As I turn on someone's tablet this evening and tap into the bible application, it was opened to the book of Romans 14. This chapter was entitled "The Danger of Criticism". We are all children of God, He died on the cross not for you alone, not for me alone, but for all us. We we're not born to condemn or look down or criticize others. But we we're born to believe on what we believe is right.
Do what you believe is right for you as long you won't get other believers to stop on believing, too. In verse 19, it says " 19So then, let us aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up." Let's have a bonding on our church sometimes, not always "ba-bye Ading" (Good bye brother/sister) :)
Conclusion: We are brothers and sisters in Christ whoever we are, because we are God's children. We should accept others just like Jesus Christ did and stop condemning others.
Bible Passage: Romans 14:1-13, 19
1Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. 2For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables. 3Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. And those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them. 4Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.
5In the same way, some think one day is more holy than another day, while others think every day is alike. You should each be fully convinced that whichever day you choose is acceptable. 6Those who worship the Lord on a special day do it to honor him. Those who eat any kind of food do so to honor the Lord, since they give thanks to God before eating. And those who refuse to eat certain foods also want to please the Lord and give thanks to God. 7For we don’t live for ourselves or die for ourselves. 8If we live, it’s to honor the Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9Christ died and rose again for this very purpose—to be Lord both of the living and of the dead.
10So why do you condemn another believera? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 11For the Scriptures say,
“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bend to me,
and every tongue will confess and give praise to God.b’”
12Yes, each of us will give a personal account to God. 13So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.
