Be A Law Unto Yourself

Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

The latter part of this verse sounds like "being a law unto one's self" to me. It shows Paul's sensitivity to the condemning attitude of those who may have felt themselves knowledgeable of the law and therefore superior spiritually.

We cannot judge or condemn, each is a law unto themselves. If sincerely working to love and serve God, God will reveal what one needs to know.
It is the motive of the heart that God looks at. He warns us not to judge others; it is our love and encouragement which will not put a stone on a brother or sister's heart.

Re: Be A Law Unto Yourself

Thank you Mrs. Roberts! this is a very important point, and I know that I have been guilty of judging the spiritual paths of others. This is something we have to be very alert to. I realize now that loving and supporting , and even sharing what I believe, look a lot different than Judging. God does guide and He certainly knows what is in our hearts. Like I have been taught here at Plainfield- check your motive abd your heart! Thank you again for this reminder!
