Romans 14 · Grade 4

Not Eating and Drinking

Name Date

Read and Think

"Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions." One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. Do not let the one who eats despise the one who does not, and do not let the one who does not eat judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.

One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. "Let each man be fully assured in his own mind." "For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself."

"For if we live, we live to the Lord. Or if we die, we die to the Lord. If therefore we live or die, we are the Lord's." "So then each one of us will give account of himself to God."

Paul says not to put a stumbling block in a brother's way. If your brother is grieved because of food, you are no longer walking in love. "For God's Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit." "So then, let's follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up."

Think About It

  1. Paul says believers can differ on food and days and still belong to the Lord. How can you show love to a friend who sees a small matter differently?

  2. Paul says not to put a stumbling block in a brother's way. When might you give up something good for the sake of someone else?
