If we are to live together in peace, we must come to know each other better.
Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973, American President (36th))
Romans 14:16-18 (HCSB)
Therefore, do not let your good be slandered, for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Whoever serves the Messiah in this way is acceptable to God and approved by men.
This is something to consider as Christians as we endeavor to live for Christ and to win souls for the Kingdom of God. Can anything that I do be misunderstood or cast doubt on my life’s testimony for Jesus? Before you can ask this question, it is my belief, and I think Christ’s teaching that I must have a great concern and love for those around me.
When Jesus addressed the crowds, He always left the crowds with a thought of concern or love for each other, and He expressed it in his actions. As I have told you before the life verse that God gave me was Hebrews 13:1, “let love of the Brethren continue.” This isn’t the cheap or temporal love the world expresses, but the eternal love of Christ.
Paul is saying that I should really examine my life for things that do not reflect the Glory of God to others, and rid my life of things that do not honor Him. Acts 20:24 tells us this, “But I count my life of no value to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.” Now that says it all…God’s Blessings.
