‏ Romans 15:7

Christian Unity

In this section, Paul continues to urge Christians to accept and welcome each other. He repeats his call for unity, showing how important it is to him. Paul teaches that believers, whether strong or weak in faith, should receive one another with love, just as Christ has received us. This unity is not only for our own good, but also brings glory to God. Paul uses the example of Jesus, who welcomed both Jews and Gentiles, to show that all believers should live together in harmony.

v. 7: Paul says, Receive one another, as Christ also received us, to the glory of God (Romans 15:7 a). He wants Christians to accept each other warmly, no matter their differences. This includes differences in background, opinions, or past mistakes. Christ welcomed us even when we were far from God, so we should welcome other believers. By doing this, we honor God and follow Christ’s example.
