The Book of Romans: Our Relationship to the Weak (Randy)

Paul wants us to understand how to relate to one another, including to our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.  Because we mature in the faith at different rates, we each have our own convictions about what we can and cannot do in the faith, but that can lead to divisions.  In Romans 14, Paul warns us not to judge one another and not to do things that would cause others to stumble.  He reminds us that, in the end, the Kingdom of God is about righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, and we therefore should see to do what leads to peace and mutual edification.  We must act out of faith rather than freedom to ensure we live up to this ideal.
