Romans Week 2, Day 5 – Romans 15:1-6

Read Romans 15-16

The other side of Christian freedom is this: bear with those who are different than you. If someone doesn’t drink and you do, don’t let that divide you. If the church is healthy and full of healthy Christians, it will be marked with unity and diversity – unity around Christ and diversity on issues of freedom. It’s perfectly healthy, and even necessary to debate. Christians can and should help each other develop godly habits in all areas. But, in the end, if a person has godly conviction and the Scriptures don’t explicitly forbid something, we ought to celebrate the gift of freedom God has given each of us. We don’t all have to look just like each other in everything, and that’s wonderful. Praise God for setting us free in Christ Jesus!
