Romans 14: Principles

The Important Words:ConsiderationLove SacrificeKnowledge

Romans 14 is not about:Ignorance of the Law

“Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things.” Romans 14:1 “Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge” 1 Corinthians 8:1

Romans 14 is not about:License to tolerate error

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?”

Romans 6:1-2

We CANNOT accept anyone who come to us with another Gospel

As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

Galatians 1:9

We CANNOT receive one who brings another doctrine

Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him;

2 John 9-10

We CANNOT keep company with those who are contrary to the doctrine of Christ

Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.

Romans 16:17

We CANNOT keep company with an immoral brother

But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person.

1 Corinthians 5:11

We CANNOT keep company with a brother who does not obey the New Testament

And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.

2 Thessalonians 3:14

Romans 14 is not about:Congregational choices- Personal liberty is NOT congregational- A captivity by the weakest member

Do not judge over matters of conscience – 14:1-12 Do what is best for all concerned – 14:14-18 Promote peace & spiritual growth – 14:19-24 The strong ought to help the weak – 15:1-4

The Importance of Fellowship

Fellowship comes from God, not men

It is not a work but a condition

We love Him because He first loved us. If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

1 John 4:19-21

But He answered and said to the one who told Him, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.“

Matthew 12:48-50
