In this week’s message, entitled “Celebrating Our Differences”, we examined Romans 14:1-10. We heard how we can extend a wholehearted welcome to others because we have been accepted by the Father. To better understand the significance of this kind of acceptance, let us consider these questions:
- One of the greatest enemies of grace is legalism. Why is this so?
- If acceptance is defined as “wholehearted welcome”, how would you describe how you accept others?
- When do differences in others tempt you to think something like, “what is wrong with this person?” How can you better deal with these kinds of temptations?
- How can standards in peoples lives begin to replace your trust in God’s faithful activity? How can you resist this inclination?
- How can we not only accept different convictions in the body of Christ, but celebrate them? Why is this so important?
Let’s give thanks for this week for our differences, with an awareness of God’s grace at work in our lives and in the lives of others.
