Morning church. This morning scripture reading will be out of the Book of John, John chapter 15 verses 9 through 17.

John 15:9 through 17.

As the father loved me. I also have loved you abide in my love. If you keep my Commandments, you will abide in my love. Just as I have kept my father's Commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you. That my joy May remain in you and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment that you love one. Another as I have loved you greater. Love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are my friends. If you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants for a servant? Does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends for all things. I have heard from my father. I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit. And that your fruit should remain that, whatever you ask, the father in my name. He may give you these things. I command you that you love one another, just go to Lord in prayer.

Father. What a great God. You are.

Good morning church. Please turn in your copies of Holy scripture to Romans chapter 14. We're going to continue our verse by verse exposition of this great epistle and rejoice rejoice.

He isn't coming. He's already came and he's inside you God, with us Emmanuel. Praise God. That he has made us sinners saved by his grace, is Temple. His Temple. Unbelievable, what? God. Jesus Christ has done for us. Amen.

As we are studying through this great epistle, Romans chapter 14, recovering verses 14 through 23, but as a way of overview of want to go back in and a review a little bit because it is where we are at is in the middle of an onion. If you will and middle of the onion, there's lots of layers that we have discovered the way back. And in Romans 3, we know that the entire Epistle of the Romans is a valid justification by faith alone by his grace, the the indwelling of the Holy Spirit came into US cost us to be rebirth. Regenerated and in that spiritual union, with Christ. He placed us in Christ in God, the Father elected us before time. Began in Christ. And that became a reality for each of us manage at the point of Salvation. And then, What is when we had faith in Christ? When I when that reality came in the Holy Spirit, gave us the confidence in the faith to believe we were absolutely totally justified by faith alone and nothing else faith alone in Christ. Because of the spiritual union between Christ and us. As I said in Roman Roman 74, it's like is like a marriage. Jesus, got everything that we have, and we get everything that he has, because of this spiritual union, because of our faith alone, he paid for all of our sins, but that's not enough to get you into heaven. He pay for all of your sins. He gave you his righteousness, and it because of faith, and because of the spiritual union, without the spiritual union with Christ. There is no salvation. There is no eternal life. So the whole book of Romans from chapters 1 through chapter 12 is the doctrine of justification by faith alone. And then we come to chapter 12 and, and we see that that God says, because of all of this because of his Mercy that he has had upon you because he has came into you and regenerated your spirit and the Holy Spirit has moved in because of that. Then logical conclusion that God comes to and you and I should come to is that we be a living sacrifice for him.

Salvation is free. People salvation is free. Following Jesus will cost you everything. Do you lay down your life? Lay down your life, cuz he's worthy. I don't want my life anymore. I want what he wants for me. I want righteousness. Peace and joy is we're going to talk about today. I beseech, you Romans 12:1, I beseech, you, therefore, Brethren by the mercies of God, that you present, your bodies, your whole being your soul, mind, your personality, everything to God, as a Living Sacrifice, which is wholly, acceptable, to God, which is your reasonable service. So, chapters 12 through 16. God is explaining what a Living Sacrifice, looks like that. We went through that. We need to be humble that we need to use our spiritual gifts, on our brothers, and sisters, and edify them. That we need to help each other. In Romans 12, have all of the, all of the characters, the virtues of Holiness as we as we went through this list on verses 9 through through, through through 23 in Romans 12 serve the Lord rejoice and hope be patient in Tribulation be constant in prayer contribute to the needs of the sink seek to show how Fatality and I said there's 28 different imperatives in there that that he wants us to help each other become more, like Christ. And that is a part of the Living Sacrifice. And we, we, we noticed that he spent bulleted those those points very short fashion, staccato, fashion that we should understand them and go back and study, and meditate up on them later. Then he sent, he spent seven verses on loving your enemies. 7 vs 11 year annamese because he knew we struggle with that. And now we're in the middle of, Romans 14 through, Romans, 15 7, 30 versus On how do you receive your brother and sister in Christ, the life within the church? So that's where we are. We're in the middle of being a just God describing to us. What does this Living Sacrifice look like in church life when there's a stronger brother and a weaker brother? In the face. That is what we are in the middle of right now. Let's go to slide, 3. And let me remind you of last last 2 weeks ago, and thank you brother, Larry for filling in for us last week and his, his sermon on the pattern of church life. I want you to think about that meditate on it and even think about where we at. Where are you at in that life of church pattern? That is a pattern of Church Life. What we need to do to grow in those things that we need to always examine ourselves against the New Testament and see where we're at. So this is the last last time that we, that we taught. Romans first, half of Romans 14, I gave you this definition of Christian Liberty, Believers are free to act according to conscience and areas where scripture is silent. That's true statement. But you must consider another's conscience. And if needed motivated by love, lay down your freedom or your Liberties, not to make your brother stumble. As I said last time you have no right to judge your brother and sisters in areas of Liberty. You have no right whatsoever. Who are you to judge? I mean, the emphasis was three or four times that the Holy Spirit, put it in the first half of Romans 14 again. And again, who are you to judge? You are not your brothers and sisters judge. The Lord, Jesus is our judge is their judge. So we must, we must not judge, but In areas of sin. Your brother or sister has a pattern of sin in their life. You have every right to judge and we do it according to Matthew 18 with much prayer and an attitude of humble restoration that we want to see her brother and sister restored to a right relationship with God. Amen. Do the main idea of today's message and versus 1423 is pursue, peace and edify one another. So the message two weeks ago was put off your judgment attitude. You heard me say I was preaching to myself. Y'all can listen, put off. Your judgmental attitude. God is calling us to a radical change in our thinking. Radical. And why we use the word radical? Because Darkness Is radically different than light. The attitude of judgement I am better than you and you're not doing this or that he should be doing this or that and areas of Liberty is judgmental. And we need to put that off, throw it off. Put on a new thinking, God is trying to teach us. He's one of us to change. As I said before, if you're following Jesus, you can't stay the same. You can't stay the same, you have to change. He wants us to put on this new radical thinking to pursue peace and edify one another. So the question I have for you this morning. More to help you think in order to help it go from our minds and to our hearts. Is pursuing, peace? An edifying, your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Is that a high priority on your list?

Is pursuing, peace? An edifying, your brothers and sisters in Christ. Is that a high priority on your list in life? I submit to you, it should be. That is laying down or life is Christ is done us. Not for my benefit. Button for the benefit of the body of Christ, in the glory of our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ.

It's all about his glory. It's all about juice, the things we need to do. So he might be glorified. We're going to see that too. I want you to please read and study, Romans 12 through 16 because what God is wanting to change us. He has made his, he wanting us to change by his grace but it takes work. It takes work, on are all of our parts in order to get into scriptures and study and meditating and, and wrestle with the concept that God has for us. Then the Holy Spirit can teach us as we meditate upon these things, and he transforms us. 55 I want to also bring to your attention as I did last time but I did was a couple of other Concepts, its it seems simple but in reality when you look at everything, look at how many different topics that we're going to be talking about, we're talking about Unity, were talking about peas were talking about hope, we're talking about loving God and others were talking about Liberty. We're talkin about conscience were talking about not being a stumbling about not judging not pleasing yourself receiving others edifying, a relationship with God, or others relationship with God and glorifying God. Together. All of these things were talking about and you cannot absorb all these things in one hour. So I encourage you to take the afternoon before you get into the the week and Examine these areas. And what God the holy spirit will have you do. So, please stand for the reading of God's word. We're going to read. Romans 14 verses 10 through 23.

Bring out the new King James Version Bible. Why do you judge your brother, or why do you show contempt for your brother for? We shall all stand before the Judgment seat of Christ for it is written. As I live, says the Lord. Every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. Therefore, let us not judge. One, another any more, but Roosevelt rather resolve this not to put a stumbling block or cost to follow her brother's way. I know, and I'm convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself. But to him, who considers anything to be unclean to him. It is unclean yet. If your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer Walking In Love. Do not destroy with your food, the one for whom Christ died. Therefore, do not let your good be spoken of as evil for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit for he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men. Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace in the things by which one may edify. Another do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure but it is evil for the man who eats with a fence. It is good neither to eat meat, nor drink wine, or do anything, by which your brother stumbles or is offended. Or is made week. Do you have faith had a to yourself before God? Happy is he who does not condemn himself and what he approves? But he who doubts is condemned. If he eats because he does not eat. From space, for whatever is not from faith is sin. Let us pray.

A father. We need your help.

We need the spirit. To open her eyes. To open our ears. And to open our hearts to understanding. That the spirit make Invictus and correct us and teach us this morning. The teaching of your, from the teaching of your word. To put off. Are shellfish judgmental attitudes? And make it a priority in our life to be about serving Christ. By pursuing peace. With our brothers and sisters and by building them up and not tearing them down. Father, help us. We cannot do this in our flesh.

We need you. We need to be led by the spirit. We need to be obedient to the spirit in the word that we might have your righteousness, your peace, and your joy. We pray that you can make this happen, every heart and soul this morning. In Jesus name. We pray and all God's people said, amen. You may be seated.

First 14. I know and I'm convinced by the Lord Jesus that there's nothing unclean of itself. The whole concept of clean and unclean come from the Old Testament where God himself told the people of Israel. What was clean and unclean. And basically it means what's fit for worship. You were fit for worship in these areas and you're unfit for worship. In these areas still has to do with righteousness in the New Testament is very similar. Clean is righteousness. Unclean is evil unrighteousness and sin as unclean. So are you saying that food or anything else that you want to consider that is physical? He is convinced by the Lord Jesus Christ, the teachings of Christ, but everything is is is nothing is unclean of itself. So let's read, Matthew, 15, 15 through 20. Where Jesus tells us. There's a Peter said and it said to him, explain this terrible to us. So Jesus said, are you still without understanding? Do you not yet? Understand that whatever, enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated but those things would proceed out of the mouth. Comes from the heart and they defile a man out of the heart. Proceed evil thoughts murders, adultery fornications theft, false witness, blasphemies these things. These are the things which to file a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man. The kingdom of God following Jesus Christ is not about the externals. It is about the heart. And we know that he changed his when he regenerated. He took the Heart of Stone, cuz when we were unbelievers, when we didn't have faith in Jesus Christ, we didn't even want to listen to him. It was a hard hard, but now he's replaced that with a heart of Flesh that we will respond. We do listen to him, but he's got to work for us to do Progressive. Sanctification. He wants to get rid of all of the evil desires. It's all about the heart. What you are, who you are, and your relationship with God in your relationship with others. It is not about the external things. There's nothing unclean of itself. So last time I, I went from food and I'm going to name a whole bunch of things that people judge Christians, judge each other on and say, you shouldn't do that. You shouldn't be living that way. You shouldn't train your children that way. So you can put anything any of these externals in this for food that you want to. None of these are unclean by themselves. Ready, alcohol, food the holidays that you celebrate playing cards, your clothes, that you wear your makeup that you wear jewelry hairstyle. How you educate your children. What do you have insurance or not money? How people spend their money TV, internet movies music music political views, vaccines Mass versions of the Bible that you use movies. Darcy said that music Church Decor Church. They cord worship style. None of these is unclean by itself.

But if your conscience tells you that you should not take part in some of these, then it is unclean to you this concept of conscience. God says he's, he's the Lord of our conscious. We are not to violate our conscience. So like for instance, vaccines, if your conscience tells you not to take the vaccine. No Pastor, no government. Should force you to break your conscious and show you should not get the vaccine. If your conscience tells you to take the vaccine, then you shouldn't let anybody else convince you that you that you shouldn't take it. It's a matter of conscience. You're living your life to the Lord. You do whatever you think the Lord wants you to do. The Lord is the Lord of your conscience. Call shows in at 2416, this area conscious is extremely important, this being so I myself always strive to have a conscience without a fence toward God and man.

When we come before the Lord's table, we were to have a clear conscience. We are to have a time of examination and confession before the Lord if we have any send that we haven't confessed, or we have a conscience that is not clear. We had to something is troubling as a relationship that we were not right with God or we're not right with her brother and sister. We shouldn't be partaking in the Lord's table until we ask for that forgiveness and show in our liberties where where we are free in Christ to enjoy all the things and live the way we want to. We cannot force our views on other people's if their conscience is telling them do not let another person make you go against your conscience. Now, you have to make sure your conscience is led by scripture.

cuz, That does not apply to send. Your conscience cannot and I've heard it many times through divorce. Divorce is God wants me happy. So I'm going to divorce my wife because I'm happier with this other woman that is send. Your conscious is Led. Astray. And the more and more that you do not listen to your conscience. The harder and harder it gets the board. That is like a cauterized artery. What do they do to stop the bleeding? They burn. It is exactly what you do to your conscience. If you keep ignoring it, if you keep ignoring the holy spirit because it's the Holy Spirit, talking to your spirit, through your conscience and you are grieving him tremendously. So the idea of conscience and for us to consider other people's conscience is extremely important. So point, one part of peace that God wants is to Drew to to pursue is is a clear conscience and making sure and helping our brothers and sisters, make sure they have a clear conscious. And the second Point, verse 15 Walking In Love is Walking In Love, promotes. Peace, verse 15th, yet. If your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer Walking In Love. Do not destroy with your food, the one for whom Christ died. That word destroy is the apologia and it means due to totally distracted. I mean, for people to walk away from the face. So put in there again, any of the things that I said, your food, your alcohol, your makeup, your clothes, how you educate your insurance, if it was the movie, she watched pull in a confused. You should not grieve your brothers and sisters. That is not walking in. Love, that is causing grief in a fence and that is not causing peace and edification for your brother and sister. However, the stronger brother could not force their personal convictions on the weaker, brother. And the weaker Christian cannot force their personal convictions on the stronger. Come on the stronger. Christian. We keep our liberties to ourselves before. God remembering that, we must receive one another, despite all of our differences. This is the body of Christ. This is why Christ died to bring us all into spiritual union. Not only with Christ. You were baptized in Christ, Jesus. You're also baptized in the body of Christ. If you're in Christ, you're in his body. You are part of the spiritual organism called the body of Christ where we get our marching orders from the head. Jesus Christ. We are to do his work. We are to function, like he wants us to function, and I pointed Ephesians chapter 4, as God's Perfect Design, template blueprint, for the church to function is Ephesians 4 is where we use our spiritual gifts to build one another up. So, our minds must be renewed in this area. In order to be a Living Sacrifice, we knows not focus on our differences in the area of Liberty's but we must Focus. On peace in the body righteousness in the body, joy in the body. Where to focus on God and his work and what he is trying to do. He is trying to sanctify us and I tell people all the time. There's always going to be trouble in the church. There's always going to be trouble in the church because God is bringing up circumstances to show us our sin. So that we can learn and our brothers and sisters can help us turn from put the pudding off the sinful behaviors, and putting on righteous behaviors. We must focus on the things that God wants us to focus on that. He wants us to pursue peace and with our fellow Christians and build them up.

In the Old Testament. God had them. He gave them. Absolutely detailed design for the Tabernacle. Absolutely. In detail of, here's the threads. I want you to use. I want you to leave angels in here, and I want this overlaid with gold and I want the Angels over the, The Mercy Seat. I want their wings to to be over The Mercy Seat, absolute complete design of how he wants to build his Tabernacle. Shall he has done the same thing in the New Testament about how to build you?

How to build you into a holy Temple to worship him rightly and that's why you need the church. That's why you need your brothers and sisters to help you and to teach you can fix you to correct you to rebuke you. That's family. That's a family of Christ. And look here in verse 19. That's what it tells us. That's what it tells us to do. Therefore. Let us pursue the things which make for peace in the things, which one may edify. Another cow. Jump over to Romans 15 6. Romans, 15 6. Here's the end of it. All that. You Church met with one mind and one mouth. Glorify the God, and father of our Lord. Jesus Christ. That's his goal. That's his goal for us Woodside. That's your goal. That's my goal, is to walk in, love pursue, peace. Edify, build up his holy Temple, our Brothers and Sisters in Christ, in their life, and their minds, and their heart. So that together as a body of Christ that we with one mind and one mouth, glorify God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ. That's his whole purpose for us to enjoy him into and to worship Him. Now, going back to Traverse, 15 in chapter 14, yet. If your brother is grieved because of your food, you were no longer Walking In Love.

Do we want someone? To walk away from the faith. Or walk away from going to church and attending church because of our actions. R words.

We got to, we got to kill our pride, will got to kill our selfishness. We got to take her thinking and get it off of ourselves and on to God and his work and onto each other to lay down our life as Christ, did for us, lay down our life for the benefit of the body of Christ.

Got this weird destroying not building up. Judging on these areas of Liberty, being careless about her brothers and sisters feelings. We are no longer working love Roman. We're no longer Walking In Love, Romans. 13:10, Is This Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the Fulfillment of the law and let me remind you that love is a choice. This word is agape, is a sacrificial Choice. It is a willful decision in your mind. This is what God did for us by sending his son. It was a willful decision by God. So you when you love your spouse, when you love your brother and sisters, the first thing if you ought to make it your decision, your will to love your brothers and sisters. I am going to lay down my life. I'm going to sacrifice for them for their benefit and the for the glory of God. That's the agape, love that were talking about. Not whatever America has come up with for love, which is really lust. Let me remind us a 1st Corinthians chapter 13, love suffers long and is kind love does not envy. Again. All of these words is a cocktail of sacrificial. Love, love does not parade itself. Is not puffed up. Does not behave rudely does not seek its own. It's not provoked thinks, no evil does not rejoice in iniquity. But rejoices in the truth Bears, all things believes all things, hopes, all things, injures all things Love, Never Fails, but whatever, Love Never Fails, no matter what people do to you.

God calls us to continue to love, continue to keep loving them. Continue to make the decision to love them. Because Christ loves you, that they may see the character of Jesus Christ. Your lord and savior in you. Not that they may see your character. But then I see the character of God. When you continue to love them, despite them.

Despite their behavior, but hot and Spike their actions. This is how Christians should live to glorify. God first 16 got to move on. Y'all aren't listening fast enough first verse 16 and therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy. In the Holy Spirit, do not let your life and your reputation be known to live for your Liberty and Christ at The Drifter mention of others for your flesh. Let me just say one more thing about about loving and, and, and, and in pursuing, peace and edification, I said, last time, social media is horrific. In terms of Christians, beating one another up. Stop, stop. I want each of you. If you're involved with any of those things. I want to you to be the peace pursuer. I want you to be the one who will build people up and not fit to your people down because that's what scripture says we need to do. It is a shame to Jesus Christ for his church on social media to be tearing one another down. It's a shame to our Lord and savior. Pursue. Peace.

And edify one. Another Galatians 5:13 says, this for you brother have been called to Liberty. Only do not use Liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. It's not about the external. It's about your heart. When we giving offering Financial offering to God, it's not about the money.

It's about your heart. Are you giving it? Joyously? Joyfully it. Are you giving it. Generously. Are you giving it with joy because you want Christ to be magnified in everything that you do.

The kingdom of God is about righteousness and peace and joy, and being led by the Holy Spirit, the power of the spirit. We can see if we see if we take a look at each three, each each of those three. And we can say that these are not of ourselves is the fruit of the spirit and it all comes from Christ. You have no right, just as well, side of Christ. You have no peace, do outside of Christ. You have no joy outside of price. Matthew 6:33 says, but seek first, the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you seek. First, the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, his kingdom. He rules. Jesus Christ as the ruler and he will end all man rule when he comes back. The second time. He will put all other rule under his feet and Conquer everything. He is Lord of lords and King of Kings. We are to seek to be obedient to our King and to do live life. Like he has ordained it. As he has, is created it. So the righteousness that we seek in the kingdom of God, with each other is from Christ. We seek his righteousness and that comes from his word, that we work and meditate upon his word because his righteousness has described their and the Holy Spirit teaches us and empowers us to be obedient. Being led by the spirit. We will walk in love and receive each brother and sister to encourage them and edify them. This is righteousness. That we encourage our brothers and edify them. We must be submissive to God's word and let it change our thinking and behavior.

First 18 for he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men, Romans 12:1, it goes back to that that we are to do we are to be acceptable in holy to God, that we are to have transformed be transformed by the renewing of our minds and 2 in order that we may discover what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God Church. He's telling us

Receive your brother. No matter their differences and liberties. Pursue peace and edify them. This is acceptable. This you are serving Christ. When you help your brothers and sisters when you pursue peace.

Where does pizza come from John 14:27? Jesus says, peace. I leave you my peace. I give you not as the world gives. Do I give to you, let your not your heart. Be troubled? Neither Let It Be Afraid. John 16:33, a these things. I have spoken to you that in me. You may have peace.

Pieces.

Piece of your conscience. Prosperity. If you are a warrior, your person who has a has a has a has a thorn in the flesh about worrying. Stop, stop. Have faith in God. He wants you to have complete peace and joy in your soul. And that comes from him, abiding in him abiding in his word. Disobeying his word will not bring you peace, or joy. Obedience is, if you love me, you will keep my commands. John 15:11, these things I have spoken to you. That my joy May remain in you and that your joy may be full. For the joy that was set before him. He enjoyed the cross. He knew he was going to be exalted above everyone else. He wasn't looking at the cross. He was looking at the glory of the father. Before him did dying on the cross. And the father, receiving the glory, and the father passing on that glory to exalt Christ above everything else and you can look forward to the glory cuz he's in the perfect. You one day, they going to take away all of your sin nature whenever we die, and we take off this unredeemed flesh body. He removes all the sin nature, your faith becomes sight, you will be in perfect righteousness. Perfect. Peace and joy, we have that hope. Let's encourage one another, not tear one another down verse 19th there, for all of that said, all of that, shadow about the unclean if it goes on and on about the food or the Liberties, is it, therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things which one may buy pursue dielco. Follow after Endeavor run after pursue these things that I put down. What are the things? Which make for peace? Communication. What communicate? Well resolve conflict, having humility yield to others. Yield to others. Yield to others. You do others.

Avoid gossip, avoid slander, give forgiveness. Ask for forgiveness, have mercy on people love, love covers a multitude of sins. What are the things which one that you may edify? Some of your brothers and sisters in Christ prayer? Service admonishment, encouraged disciple them have Bible studies with them study books together with them. Teach them share Bible verses for life of a give them Council encourage them, remind them of your fate of their faith, in Christ, and his loyalty and faithfulness. Help them, in Anythink. Give Mercy, two people give Grace, to people, give generously to people, spend time with people in each other, be an example. For them to look to that leader. Living out your face for the glory of your savior. Jesus Christ. These are the things God wants us to pursue.

Not tearing down one another. Pursue peace and the edification of one another. First 20, he repeats. First 20, he repeats verse 15 again. He's making a strong case. Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food or your liberties. All things indeed are pure but it is evil just just to make a mission to destroy that he's used in 15 or 20 or two different words of 15 is totally destroy. This one is like you're slowly eating away. You're just sitting a grating, their faith.

Do not do anything, which makes your brother or sister stumble. Do not do anything or say anything to offend anyone.

You know what at Lacey says right there. You got to tame the tongue right? Keep it behind the cage. Don't let it out. Don't let the tongue out. You got to have a filter between your brain in your mouth, right? Got to have a filter. The filter is the word of God.

Don't do anything to make anyone doubt God. Christ the Holy Spirit or the word of God, when we act out of Pride selfishness greed or in fend, another person. They look at us and say if that person is a Christian. I don't think I want to follow Christ.

Or they may look at us and say, wow. They've been studying the Bible for all those years. It must not have any effect whatsoever.

Beloved.

Ask God to change your thinking.

Get it off ourselves.

I put it on God, his glory. And her obedience, our Allegiance, our loyalty to him. So walk in love to pursue peace with all and build others up.

Verse 22. Do you have faith? No, you do have it to yourself before. God Don't parade it around that you have all these liberties. Happy is he who does not condemn himself and what he approves, but he who doubts is condemned. Again, do not go against your conscience, is the point he's making for whatever is not from. Faith is sin. Living your life, trusting in God, living to him and for him judge yourself. To see if you're in the face. God is our primary audience. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. He's our judge. He's our master. He died of what we said. Last time in the first part of Rome is a died and rose again that he might be Lord kurios. Ultimate Supreme Master over everything. Let him be your ultimate Supreme Master over your heart and your mind.
