1. Christ came to confirm the promises of God.
Remember that Christ came as a servant to the Jews to show that God is true to the promises he made to their ancestors.
Romans 15:8 NLT
... You are included in the covenant God promised to your ancestors. For God said to Abraham, "Through your offspring all the families on earth will be
blessed." When God raised up his servant, Jesus, he sent him first to you people of Israel, to bless you by turning each of you back from your sinful
ways.
Acts 3:25-26 NLT
2. Christ came to combine our praise to God.
The Prayer

Christian liberty is to be governed by love.
1. For the sake of your brother
2. For the sake of Christ's bride
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be
satisfied." - Jesus Christ (Matthew 5:6)
"I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God's way of making us right
with himself depends on faith." - Paul the Apostle (Phil. 3:9-10 NLT)
Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Colossians

Since God welcomes us, we should welcome one another.
The Problem
The Prescription
To the strong: Welcome your weaker brother (v. 1). Do not despise him (vv. 3a, 10b).
To the weak: Stop passing judgment (vv. 3b, 4a, 10a)
Should a man not lay his hand upon his mouth before he criticizes his brethren? When we pass swift, uninformed, unloving and ungenerous judgments, surely we have forgotten that if we speak evil of them, at the same time we speak evil of the Lord whose name they bear.
The Principles
1. God welcomes all believers.
Romans 14:3
2. The Lord upholds every believer.
Romans 14:4
3. The Lord is sovereign over every believer.
Romans 14:5-9
"To deny the lordship of Jesus Christ in the life of any believer is to subvert the full work, power, and purpose of His crucifixion and resurrection."
4. The Lord alone will judge each believer.
Romans 14:10-12
Since God welcomes us, we should welcome one another.

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
John 13:34-35
Love Your Neighbor
Romans 13:8-10
"Paul reserves the word 'fulfill' for Christian experience; only Christians, as a result of the work of Christ and through the Spirit, can 'fulfill' the law."
- Douglas J. Moo
Look to Yourself
Romans 13:11-14
1. Wake up!
2. Get dressed.
3. Walk properly.
Love others today by clothing yourself with Christ.

2. They have been empowered to punish.
Submit to governing authorities, for they are God's servants for our good.
3. Our reluctance/refusal to submit to governing authorities.

Believers are to use their gifts humbly and corporately to build up the body of Christ and bring glory to God.
True worship entails dedicating your whole self to God.
"I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my
disciples, if you love one another." - Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35)
Love one another genuinely, like Jesus, from the inside out.
Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children, and walk in love, as Christ also loved us and gave himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant
offering to God. - Ephesians 5:1-2
"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his
friends." - John 15:12-13
1. Our allegiance (v. 9)
2. Our affection (v. 10)
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. - Romans 12:10 NIV
3. Our actions (vv. 11-13)
The temptation to lose steam in our lifelong responsibility to reverence God in every aspect of our lives, to become lazy and complacent in our pursuit of
what is "good, well pleasing to God, and perfect," is a natural one - but it must be resisted.
- Douglas Moo
"treating a person, perhaps a stranger, nobly and magnanimously in the context of one's home, joyfully seeking to bring that person refreshment."
Love one another genuinely, like Jesus, from the inside out.
