Romans 14: Every Knee Shall Bow to Christ

                Paul explains that we need to avoid conflicts and unrighteous judgment among each other. He explains that; “For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.” (Romans 14: 8-9) So, no matter what, we are the Lord’s. There is no point to argue and fight amongst each other, for when the time comes we will ALL be called back to God to be judged.

Paul urges the Saints to avoid judging one another, and in today’s modern world we can learn by this as well. Paul wrote; “But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” (Romans 14:10-11) Lets think about this, why judge someone? Jesus made it clear when he said; “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” (Matthew 7:1) It is not our place to judge ANYONE! Judgment is left to God.

Paul reminds us that in the end we will only have ourselves to prove before God at Judgment Day. “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.” (Romans 14:12-13)

The Kingdom of God embraces righteousness, peace and joy. We need to have faith and sin not.
