Many errors in life develop because of an error in perception.
* We prove His
Lordship (Ro 14:7-8).
We affirm His Lordship
by living for Jesus.
* We are not Lord and therefore not Judge. (Ro 14:10-12)
1) It is not our place to judge our brothers.
2) It is our duty to ready ourself to give an account of yourself to the Lord.
* He proves His
Lordship (Ro 14:9).
Jesus assumes His
Lordship by coming
(He died & lived).
Correction of behavior results from a correction in perception.
* Do not judge others (14:13)
* Do not be the cause of anothers fall.(14:14-16)
* Concentrate on doing what is acceptable to God (14:17-19)
* Dont destroy Gods work for the sake of truth (14:20-21)
* Dont act in doubt (14:22)
