The Lord wants his followers to live in complete harmony with each other, to join together with one voice , to give praise and glory to god , the father of our lord Jesus Chris. This is fitting for the followers of Jesus Christ.
It always easy to say it than to do it. It is not easy also to really accept each other. It need efforts to bear with each each other and be considerate to each other, not to just please ourselves but to please others . It needs effort to help each other do what is right , and build each other in the lord. It sometimes even needs to sacrifice for each other , just as Jesus sacrificed for us, who took on the result for us, and even died for us on the cross. It also need patience and encouragement from the Lord, our faith and hope to wait patiently for God's promise to be fulfilled.
So , make sincere efforts and really accept each other just as Christ has really accept you , so that God will be given glory. No matter you are Jews or gentile, white or black, Mexican or Asian , Chinese from Taiwan or from mainland... let's all accept each other in Christ, and bring glory to the God, the father of our lord Jesus Christ.
Blessings
Bible verses, Romans 15:1-9a NLT
We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves. We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord.
For even Christ didn’t live to please himself. As the Scriptures say, “The insults of those who insult you, O God, have fallen on me.” Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled. May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory. Remember that Christ came as a servant to the Jews to show that God is true to the promises he made to their ancestors. He also came so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercies to them.
