Day 7

This week, God will challenge us on how we judge each other as believers. God had Paul begin by writing this in Romans 14:1, "Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.” So, God began laying out how to deal with those who were weak in faith. There are two types of people within God’s ...

God had Paul continue in Romans 14:2–3 by writing, “One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. 3 The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.” We must understand the biblical cont...

The believing Jews had been taught, through God’s Word in the Old Testament, about things that were clean and unclean. For example, God had taught them the importance of circumcision and that circumcision was ...

As we close out this week, we have seen how God challenged us on what we hold our brothers and sisters in Christ accountable for and why we should not judge them. Today, God reminds us of another one of His incredible Truths in Romans 14:11–12, “For it is written, ‘As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall g...
