IN ORDER TO GLORIFY GOD

We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For even Christ did not please Himself.......... Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. (Romans 15:1-3,7)

In order to glorify God, Christians are to follow the example of Christ and like Him are not to please themselves, but are to please others. Those who are strong in the faith have a moral and spiritual obligation to bear with the failings of the weak and to help them. Believers should follow the self-denying example of Christ. Welcome one another, and live in harmony with one another, to do anything less would be an insult to Christ. Did not Christ suffer and die for each of us who have been born again? Did He not purchase our redemption with His own blood? Thank about it. TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY.
