Paul's Epistle to the Romans, Consideration For A Brother Weak In The Faith.

Paul's Epistle to the Romans, Consideration For A Brother Weak In The Faith.

Free Bible Study: Paul’s Epistle to the Romans
In his lifetime, Paul launched at least four missionary journeys into previously unreached countries (3 recorded in Acts), survived tremendous opposition and hardship, and wrote letters to instruct and encourage those who had become believers Imprisonment often resulted from Paul’s disagreement with the religious legalism of the Jews. The Book of Acts ends with Paul under house arrest in his own rented house in Rome (Acts 28:30, 31). Events surrounding the end of Paul’s life are uncertain. After a possible release and a later imprisonment in Rome, Paul may have been tried and executed for his continued proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ (see 2 Tim.), which he expressed in his letter to the church at Rome.


Today’s Lesson: Consideration For A Brother Weak In The Faith.
Scripture: Romans 14:1-13

Preview:
There are three more points that Paul stresses in this passage, and he does it by, first, summarizing his teaching on Christian liberties, and second, he emphasizes the need for each one of us to be fully convinced in his own mind what the will of God is for him in areas where God’s will is not specific in His Word. In nonessentials, “gray areas” of Christian ethics, personal convictions are essential in being free from needless guilt and sin. He makes three points: (1) personal convictions are “personal”; (2) personal convictions are to be practiced; and (3) personal convictions must be developed.
