The world is filled with turmoil. Conflicts are prevalent around the globe. Homes are riddled with strife. Peace is lacking everywhere. But the church of Jesus Christ has the opportunity to stand out as a people of peace. We must learn to get along with each other within the context of the church so that the world will see the difference God makes in our lives. Paul devotes a significant portion of Romans (14:1—15:13) to emphasizing the importance of unity in the church. Christians must accept one another into vital relationships (Romans 14:1). We must also edify one another as a demonstration of interpersonal peace (Romans 14:19). The early church, like the church today, faced challenges because of varied views regarding debatable practices. Paul exhorted the Christians in Rome to look beyond their differences, to surrender their personal rights, and to live in harmony with one another. There will always be debatable practices. How we work together while holding diverse views will speak volumes to a world that isn’t accustomed to getting along. In spite of different perspectives and preferences, Christians must live in harmony. Paul presents some guiding principles to help us work through our differences.
