" How can the Church stay united and Christians continue to be known for their love while also disagreeing?...
1. WHEN CHRISTIANS DISAGREE… RECEIVE ONE ANOTHER: ROMANS 14:1-12
You will note that this section begins and ends with this admonition (Rom. 15:7). Paul was addressing those who were strong in the faith, that is, those who understood their spiritual liberty in Christ and were not enslaved to diets or holy days. The “weak in faith” were immature believers who felt obligated to obey legalistic rules concerning what they ate and when they worshipped. Many people have the idea that the Christians who follow strict rules are the most mature, but this is not necessarily the case. In the Roman assemblies, the weak Christians were those who clung to the law and did not enjoy their freedom in the Lord. The weak Christians were judging and condemning the strong Christians, and the strong Christians were despising the weak Christians.
“Welcome one another!” was Paul’s first admonition, and he gave four reasons why they should."
