The Weaker Brother

Scripture Passage: Romans 14:1-4

Fellowship among Christians is not based on everyone agreeing on every question. The strong Christian's understanding of the gospel means that he knows that what he eats has nothing to do with his growth in Christ. A Christian must not reject a fellow Christian who is also a servant of God. We each must not do anything which would cause a weaker Christian to stumble. The "weak" Christian is not the master of the strong Christian, nor the strong Christian the master of the weak Christian. God is Master and to Him alone all believers are responsible.

Questions:
1. Why should Christians not condemn other Christians who act differently?
Because God has accepted us all.
2. Who is each Christian's master?
God.
3. How should we act to other Christians?
We must always act in love.


Memory verse: Romans 14:4
Who are you to condemn God's servants? They are responsible to the Lord, so let him tell them whether they are right or wrong. The Lord's power will help them do as they should. (NLT)
