Living to please others. Romans 15:1-13

Paul is not suggesting that we become people pleasers for the sake of unity. But we are to set aside self pleasing attitudes so that we can build other Christians up and not put them down.15:2

We must remain strong in the faith (not our own opinions) and at the same time be sensitive to others, if we are honest we are all strong in some areas and weak in others. The bottom line is does my behaviour build up or pull down? 15:2

Both weak and strong Christians are to seek to build each other up by following Christ’s example, who did not please Himself but let the reproaches of others fall upon Himself.15:7

Acceptance of each other has to work both ways as Christ modelled by saving both Jew and Gentile alike. 15:8,12

The Scriptures testify to Gods faithfulness in former times as well as encouragement and Hope for the future. 15:4

A Christian can only remain full of Joy and hope through faith in Jesus Christ and power of the Holy Spirit. 15:13

Memory verse
