Getting Real With God & Man – Part 1 (Romans 14:1-12)

God calls His people to unity, not uniformity. To love, not legalism. One day, every believer will give an account to God, not to each other.

so church family we’re in a brand new section Romans chapter 14 today we’re going to read a long section of the scripture we’ll cover uh the first three verses in our study today but we’re looking at a series now titled getting real with God and man getting real with God and man romans chapter 14 I’ll start in verse one if you read the oddnumbered vers or the even numbered verses that would be great receive one who is weak in the faith but not to disputes over doubtful things for one who believes he may eat all things but he who is weak eats only vegetables

let not him who eats despise him who does not eat and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats for God has received him who are you to judge another servant to his own master if he stands or falls indeed he will be made to stand for God is able to make him stand verse 5 one person esteems one day above another another esteems every day alike let each be fully convinced in his own mind he observes it to the Lord and he who does not observe the day to the Lord he does not observe it he who eats eats to the Lord

for he gives God thanks and he who does not eat to the Lord he does not eat and gives God thanks verse seven for none of us lives to himself think of that and no one dies to himself for if we live we live to the Lord and if we die we die to the Lord therefore whether we live or die we are the Lords for to this end Christ died and rose and lived again that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living but why do you judge your brother or why do you show contempt for your brother for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ for it is written as I live
