Romans 14:14-23: Living under God's Authority
Show Notes

Many hear the first part of Romans 14 as, "Jesus Loves...and you're not to judge." But the back half of the same chapter completes the thought with, "Jesus loves you too much to leave you where He found you." It is not about judging–it is about living into the future that God has/is making for us.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
