AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD.”

OUTLINE

I. Welcome believers whose convictions differ from yours (Romans 14:1–4)

Paul addresses disagreements over food and special days. He tells believers not to despise or condemn one another, because each servant answers to the Lord.

II. Live with a clear conscience before God (Romans 14:5–12)

Whether someone observes a day or eats certain foods, they should act in honor of the Lord and give thanks. Each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.

III. Choose love and peace over insisting on your rights (Romans 14:13–19)

Don’t use your freedom in a way that harms another believer’s faith. “Pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another” (v. 19, NASB95).

Believers should show grace to one another in matters of conscience, avoid judging or pressuring each other, and live to honor the Lord. As Paul says, “So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.” (Romans 14:19, NASB).
