Stumbling Block – Romans 14:15-16
Vs 15 - Paul has been introducing what we call the
stumbling block principle. If a fellow
Christian is distressed by something you are doing and you become aware of
it. The best course of action is in
their presence not do it. Acting in love
means that you respect their conviction and do not practice it in their
presence. Jesus died for both of you and
you have been united through Him.
Wisdom, love and common sense are the order of the day. You do not let them impose their convictions
on you but you respect them by not either mocking or deliberately flaunting
your opposition to this conviction by doing it in their presence.
Vs 16 – Do not allow what you
consider good to spoken as evil. Defend
your conviction especially if it is based on the Bible but do not judge or
condemn another if they do not agree with you.
