It is observable that the apostle directs his reproof most against those who gave the offence; not as if those were not to be blamed who causelessly and weakly took the offence from their ignorance of Christian liberty, and the want of that charity which is not easily provoked and which thinketh no evil (he several times tacitly reflects upon them), but he directs his speech to the strong, because they were better able to bear the reproof, and to begin the reformation.

(2.) The Gospels Nothing more destructive to true Christianity than placing it in modes, and forms, and circumstantials, which eat out the essentials. THIS chapter contains Paul's loving salutation to the various Christians dwelling at Rome. Romans 15 He preached in the same church as C. H. Spurgeon over one hundred years earlier.

They may be a babe in Christ (babies are weak). It is explained by the word akatharton, Acts 10 14, nothing common or unclean. Do not let your good be spoken of as evil: Our liberty in Jesus and freedom from the law is good, but not if we use it to destroy another brother in Christ.

Surely we serve a good Master, who makes peace and joy so essential to our religion. But now it is winter, and the sun is gone, and the banqueting-house is closed. But God has received those Christians who eat meat. Prophets "I know and am persuadedI am fully persuaded, I am acquainted with my Christian liberty, and am satisfied in it, without any doubt or scruple, that there is nothing unclean of itself, that is, no kind of meat that lies under any ceremonial uncleanness, nor is forbidden to be eaten, if it be food proper for human bodies." Compare Gal 6 4, Let every man prove his own work, that is, bring it to the touchstone of the word and try it by that so exactly as to be well satisfied in what he does; and then he shall have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. Weak and strong Christians are indeed our brethren, but they are not our servants. It is a prophecy, in general, of Christ's dominion; and here very fully applied to the judgment of the great day, which will be the highest and most illustrious exercise of that dominion.

Romans 14:1-4. Christians should take heed of grieving one another, and of saddening the hearts of Christ's little ones. Bishop Sanderson, in his 34th sermon, upon 1 Tim 4 4, justly makes this observation: It appears by this that saying grace (as we commonly call it, perhaps from 1 Cor 10 30) before and after meat was the common known practice of the church, among Christians of all sorts, weak and strong: an ancient, commendable, apostolical, Christian practice, derived down from Christ's example through all the ages of the church, Matt 14 19; 15 36; Luke 9 16; John 6 11; Matt 26 26, 27; Acts 27 35. The New Testament The Argument from Contingency: A Proof for God, 6 Verses to Cling to When You Are Overwhelmed. Shall we despise those whom Christ valued at so high a rate?

He that regards the daythat makes conscience of the observance of the Jewish fasts and festivals, not imposing it upon others, nor laying a stress upon it, but willing to be as he thinks on the surer side, as thinking there is no harm in resting from worldly labours, and worshipping God on those daysit is well. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. 1. Paul speaks about the stumbling of a sincere heart, not catering to the whims of someones legalism. Christ is the gain we aim at, living and dying. We make ourselves our brethren's masters, and do in effect usurp the throne of God, when we take upon us thus to judge them, especially to judge their thoughts and intentions, which are out of our view, to judge their persons and state, concerning which it is hard to conclude by those few indications which fall within our cognizance. The matter is left at large. He that will venture to do that which his own conscience suggests to him to be unlawful, when it is not so in itself, will by a like temptation be brought to do that which his conscience tells him is unlawful when it is really so.
