Text: Romans 14:6-9

Intro: I have decided to give Romans 14/15 a series title: I am calling it 6 Biblical reasons to not judge your brother or sister in Christ.

Let Every Man Be Fully Persuaded (Vs. 5) Every believer has the Holy Spirit that convicts his/her conscience. Let Him do what He does best. Paul asks this question in verse 4, “Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant?” Stop robbing God of His opportunity to lead in someones life, and stop robbing your brother or sister of an opportunity to let God do just that.

Tonight we will study the second reason given to us here in this passage:

Regarding It Unto The Lord (Vs. 6)

1 Corinthians 6:20 KJV 1900

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

1 Corinthians 7:23 KJV 1900

Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

I am going to make this statement concerning judgement.

Matthew 5:28 KJV 1900

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

1 John 3:15 KJV 1900

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

If you judge your brother or sister and you say nothing, the word of God is still speaking to you when it asks, “Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant?

We have to trust that God knows what He is doing, and you know what, we have to trust our brother’s and sister’s that they want God to work in their life as well. Let God asks the question, is this unto the Lord? Let Him convict, let Him change peoples motives, and actions. If it is selfish, careless, attention grabbing, or maybe simply for profit, God can and God will root out the motive behind it. God is the only one, that can pierce through the armor of flesh into the very heart of the matter.

Mark 14:1–9 KJV 1900

After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people. And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

If someone is doing something for the Lord that is different than you would do it, rather that criticize them and their effort we should praise God for His working . How many times in our life would Jesus say that to you? Let her alone; why trouble ye her?
