Not passing judgment – Romans
14:13-14
Vs 13 - Paul makes a straight forward statement about
not passing judgment on each other. In
stead we are to make up our minds to not put either a stumbling block or
obstacle in a fellow Christians way.
Many times knowingly or unknowingly we try to impose our values,
convictions and personal bias on others.
We wrap it in Christian language, terms and spirituality but the reality
it is how we see things and not God.
Paul says do not do this. Instead
make the effort to follow Christ and let Him deal with a weaker Christian.
Vs 14 – Paul says that as one
who is in the Lord, he declares that all meat is clean. Now if someone decides certain meat is not
than that is their decision. Our
reaction should be one of understanding and tolerance. This is not an essential truth which needs to
be defended.
