Blessed are those who do not condemn

Blessed are those who do not condemn – Rom 14:22-23

Vs 22 – Paul says that we should not eat meat or drink or anything else if it will either cause another to stumble or their faith to be destroyed.  It is a balancing act but love walks in wisdom and love.

Vs 23 – Paul beautifully states whatever you believe about these things keep to yourself and God.  These are your convictions and yours alone.    Paul says blessed is the man who is not condemned by what he approves.  We are not called to be morality cops on each other.  If a person has a conviction based on what God has spoken to them and another disapproves.  It is not our job to correct but pray that the Holy Spirit will convince them otherwise.  Holiness is not a matter of rights, wrongs, do and don’ts.  It is doing what pleases God.  Each person comes to their convictions based on their interpretation of the Bible, life experience and upbringing.  For example one Christian has no problem with drinking where as another looks at it as sin.  Which one is right?  That is a choice and conviction.
