The Weak and The Strong: Receiving One Another in Love
May 10, 2026 • Derek Best
The previous chapters of Romans have laid emphasis on the importance of love, whether by loving our enemies or loving our neighbor. In Chapter 14, Paul will now lay out what it looks like to walk according to love as it relates to those within the church, whom he will term the ‘weak’ and the ‘strong’ - those who have certain conscience issues and scruples and those who are exhibiting their liberty in Christ. He will show us how each is to welcome and love one another in light of the truth and glorious reality that Jesus Christ is Lord over all.
