Conviction and Acceptance
How we blend conviction with an equally deep level of acceptance?
We need to understand that some convictions can be disputable matters
Paul does not get into a discussion what is right and wrong
Accept those whose faith is weak - Romans 14:1
Accept one another in order to bring praise to God - Romans 15:7
Example: It is OK to treat one day more special to worship God than another day - Romans 14:5-6
Even if the conviction is misguided - we sin if go against it
Great questions in these verses:
- Who are you to judge some else's servant? - Romans 14:4
- Why do you judge your brother? - Romans 14:10
- Why do you look down on your brother? - Romans 14:10
- No "I'm right" or "Your wrong" on that day
- Rightness will be perfectly obvious to all
