Romans 14:22-23 (Part3) |
Why do we get so concerned
about things that get in the way of our relationship
with God? Some of us have the beliefs
that there are things that make us better Christians:
the things that we eat, the special places that we go,
the people that
we interact with in society. Some of us allow such
things to create division between brother and sisters in
the body of Christ
and ourselves. Such divisions are not of God. So do not
get caught up in earthly preferences that you think make
you special
in comparison to other believers. Do not put other
people down for their preferences that are different
than yours. Look past
your personal hang-ups and the hang-ups of others in
order to serve our God and to serve each other. Our God
is not a God
concerned about what we eat nor any of our other
material preferences. Everything that He creates is
good. What He wants
most from each of us is to love Him and to love our
brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ. |
