![Christian Freedoms [Food and Holy Days] (Romans Chapter 14)](https://letstalkscripture.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/rom-14-1080x675.jpg)
Paul moves to the issue of Christian harmony. Because of the coming of “the faith” (Law of Christ), many will find it difficult. Thus, “the strong” (those who transition easily) should not disdain the weak (those who hesitate to change). But all should strive to live harmoniously. In this chapter we have the establishment of Christian freedom.
Paul continues commanding that Christians should be submissive to the government, when that government is doing good. And, he also instructs us to love others who are not Christians and live diametrically distinct from them in view of the Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul commands the elect to respond to God’s great salvation by living godly lives, humbly exercising their spiritual gifts and being at peace with their enemies.
Paul continues his teaching warning Gentile Christians against arrogance and pride because of their great number as believers, revealing to them that one day God will turn his attention back to Israel and save the WHOLE NATION!
Paul continues his teaching that God has not permanently rejected Israel, but their temporary rejection of Jesus as Messiah has led to the truth of the gospel spreading to the Gentiles and reaping a great harvest from among them.
Paul continues his teaching concerning Israel in how they did not obtain the righteousness that they were seeking, because they rejected God’s only means of attaining it – faith in Christ Jesus.
