"Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification"- Romans 14:19 (NIV).
Paul, in Romans 14, is asking Kingdom workers to refrain from judging others and to stop throwing stumbling blocks into the paths of fellow believers (v. 13). Some people eat certain foods, while others eat anything. Paul said neither should treat the other with contempt (vs.2-3), but instead, to examine ourselves to see if our choices, our ways, are done to honor the Lord (v. 6-8). The Kingdom is not about what we eat or drink...but about righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (v.17). Everything we do, whether in word or deed, should all be done in the name of Jesus, giving thanks to God through Him (Colossians 3:17).
