Romans 14:13-23: Limiting “my freedom” for the sake of a fellow Christian
Several statements in this passage haunt me! Here they are…
“Resolve never to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in the way of a fellow Christian”
“If your brother [or sister] is grieved because of… you are no longer walking in love”
“Do not let your good be spoken of as evil”
“Pursue things which make for peace and the things by which we may edify [build up] one another”
“Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of (several things might be named) …”
“It is good neither to … do anything by which a fellow Christian stumbles or is offended or is made weak”
The point? The “law of love” demands that I be willing to limit my “freedom” for the welfare and benefit of a fellow Christian! I must be willing to do that… AND I WILL!!!
