Romanos 15:1


Rom 15:1  We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves.

NLT

Romanos 15:1  Los que estamos plenamente convencidos de lo que hacemos, en vez de hacer solo lo que queremos, debemos ayudar a quienes son debiles.

NBD

 

                The word "must" is the greek word "ὀφείλω, ὀφειλέω" which is best translated "obligated". We have an obligation to be considerate to those who are weak and sensitive in the faith. If a new believer has struggled with something even as simple as wasting time on video games, so he is setting his life aside from that. It would be a terrible sin to talk about them and play games in front of him. In no way is that building him up nor being edifying as a brother to him. In the Spanish translation it says " debemos ayudar a quienes son debiles." Which uses the word "ayudar". This speaks a lot to me because we're not just called to quit doing things that may stumble or tear down people. But also ayudar a quienes son debiles.

 

----------          APPLICATION          ----------

 

                For my application I'm going to start coming to my brothers in Christ when I am needing someone to lean on. Rather than just taking it to myself and dealing with it myself. Roaren has already told me I can come to him.

Mar 16:19   So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Mar 16:20   And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.                     Today I was focusing on the resurrection of Christ. And the importance of it. Neil was speaking on it and it really hit me something. If the resurrection isn't portrayed than an all powerful God isn't portrayed. God said he will bruise the heel of the serpent (I believe is referencing satan) and that comes in the form of the resurrection. It's the , "even if you kill me I'll still come back. There is NOTHING you can do to beat me. And on top of everything I will use the people I died for to do my work as I command them." It's the biggest spiritual slap to face in the history of ever. Jesus gave satan the largest defeat that has ever been and now he has to live kn

1Pe 4:7   But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.   1 Pedro 4:7    Ya se acerca el fin de todas las cosas. Asi' que, para orar bien, mante'nganse sobrios y con la mente despejada.                   This could be my last 5 seconds. But those 5 seconds just passed but the message I take from this is that I should never expect to live on for a long time. Live each day like it's my last. That doesn't mean be irresponsible but be zealous and have a fire that yearns for people to come to Christ right now. No body is guaranteed any time on this earth.   Lives are being lost not having been shown the love of Christ and no one has any promises of living to see the next day and does that hit my heart? I struggle to think that the sun has no guarantee to rise in the morning because I've seen it happen over and over again. I have no promises on my life here on earth. So when Jesus says, "GO". He doesn

    1Ti 3:16   Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.                     I was spending time thinking about what I means to be "vindicated be the Spirit" this word took my attention and I proceeded to look it up. In the Webster's dictionary it says literally this. " To prove or to be just or valid."   The Spirit proved that Jesus He is just and valid. This was an interesting note to me. But what is the mystery? The mystery to me is this, If Jesus did this in godliness, how do you become godly? All throughout 1 Timothy chapter 3 it talks about the qualifications of bishops and deacons. It lists practical things like "don't be given over to much wine" and "speak with integrity". But the root of all these things is godliness.
