Paul's Epistle to the Romans,Consideration For Our Neighbor

Paul's Epistle to the Romans,Consideration For Our Neighbor

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 Our Neighbor
Scripture: Romans 14:14–23

Preview:
Our desire must not be to get everybody to agree with us; our desire must be to pursue peace, not cause others to stumble, and help others to mature in Christ. What starts as grieving (v. 15) can become offending (v. 21), making weak (v. 21), and causing others to stumble and fall (vv. 13, 21). The result might be destroying a brother’s or sister’s faith (vv. 15, 20). Is destroying another just to have your own way worth it?
