Building one another in peace!
Romans 14:16-19 (NASB)
16 Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil;
17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
18 For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.
19 So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another.
+++++++++++++++++++
This is in the midst of Paul's writing about using our freedom. Sometimes we should give up something in order to have peace.
In seeking to glorify God we seek to build up one another. Frequently Paul tells us to put the other person's needs before ours. That is true love and the reasonable response to God's love for us.
+++ For those in the Westport area, come to Bible study tomorrow at Westport Baptist Church for further study on this.
God bless as you work for peace and strengthen one another.
