Explore the importance of accepting one another in Jesus, celebrating differences in ethnicity and opinions, while glorifying God through unity and praise. Reflect on scriptural guidance to live harmoniously in Christ's love and grace.
E N D
We accept one another, for we are accepted in Jesus. Therefore:
One: We overlook our differences. • Sometimes those differences are ethnic. • “God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Gen 1:27). • “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal 3:28). • Sometimes those differences have to do with opinions. • “Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things” (Rom 14:1). • Phil 2:1-4.
Some questions about opinions: • Is my opinion consistent with Scripture? • Am I trying to bind my opinion on someone else? • Is my opinion going to harm someone else?
Two: We glorify God. • The name of Jesus is worthy of all praise. • God has given Him “the name which is above every name” (Phil 2:9). • Rev 5:9-10. • Singing begins in the heart. • You are to be “singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Eph5:19). • You are also to be “singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord” (Col 3:16). • Does your praise come from your heart?
