START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Romans 14:13
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
STOP PASSING JUDGMENT / ROMANS 14:13
Notice that from the start of this Romans 14 (and Romans 15) Paul addresses his remarks more to those whose faith allows them to take greater liberty on matters of choice. Such people are “not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother’s way.” They are to use their freedom in a way that will benefit others (1 Corinthians 10:23-33). Both those who take certain liberties and those who place certain restrictions on themselves should hold back from criticizing and judging each other. We must keep in mind that we will all give account to God for our own conduct (Romans 4:11-12). Though we must hold back from judging each other in trivial matters, Christians should consider how to encourage each other to be more like Christ in issues concerning faith, Biblical teaching and morals (Hebrews 10:24). This involves sincerely evaluating (1 Thessalonians 5:21; 1 John 4:1), correcting and rebuking one another in love and humility (Luke 17:3). When necessary, it means exercising church discipline toward serious moral and spiritual offenders (1 Corinthians 5:12-13; 2 Thessalonians 3:6, 14; 1 Timothy 5:20-21; 2 Timothy 2:24-26, 4:2).
