Romans
Lesson #11

Scripture Reading (Romans 14:1-23)


This chapter deals primarily with the matter of conscience. How the strong and the weak should treat one another.

1. We are to receive those who come into our assembly who are weak in the faith without disputing or judging them.

2. Who are the weak and who are the strong? We have been taught for years that the strong ones are the ones who by reason of their convictions, were never able to do certain things. Paul says that, in truth, these are the weak ones.

3. We may not always agree on personal convictions but God has received both the strong and the weak.

4. How do we determine what personal convictions are? Do we all have the same personal convictions?

5. What are some of your personal convictions?

6. In Romans 14, two of the major points of contention were the eating of certain meat and the keeping of certain days. Is our salvation dependent on meats and days? (1 Cor: 8-8)

7. Why do we judge one another in these matters, knowing that God is our judge and that all of us will stand before the judgement seat of Christ. (Romans 14:10)

8. What do you make of the statement in verse 14 that there is nothing unclean of itself?

9. Even though you are not convicted of certain things, what should be your attitude toward your weak brother?

10. Can a church be destroyed by a judgemental spirit concerning these things? (Romans 14:20)

11. Is it right or wrong to try to condemn someone by using the law of Moses?

12. Do you understand that everything in the law had to be filtered through the cross. Some things were abolished at the cross. (Col: 2-14) Some things were changed and came through the cross. Some things came through the cross unchanged.
