Christ's Righteousness Transforms Our Lives Towards Weak Brothers (Romans 14)

Text: Romans 14

Theme: The gospel reveals the righteousness of God...

5. In Transformation (12-16)
C) Towards Weak Brothers (14:1 - 15:33)

Mature Christians understand their liberty in Christ to do
those things the Bible does not prohibit. For example, they
know they are free to eat meat offered to idols. On the other
hand, a weak Christian's conscience tells him it's wrong to
exercise such liberties. As a result, strong and weak christians
tend to judge each other regarding the exercise of liberty (1-3).

Since Christ is our only judge, believers should stop judging
each other about matters of personal convictions which the
Bible does not address (4-12). Also, Mature believers, though
free in Christ, should avoid exercising their liberty in a way
which will cause the weak christian to sin against his
conscience (13-23).

Have you heard Christ died for our sins, and God raised Him
from the dead? Did you know God saves you from hell and
gives you eternal life through faith in this finished work alone,
not your merits (Jn. 3:16; 1 Cor. 15:1-3; Eph. 2:8-10; 2 Thess.
1:8-9)? This is so man cannot boast, and God alone gets the
glory (Eph. 2:8-9).
