Here in Romans 15, the Apostle Paul is writing to the church in Rome about this very issue of interpersonal relationships. He is starting with the premise that the weaker believers are in more need than those that are stronger and more grounded in the Word of God.
The church, which is made up of Christians, should be according to the scriptures living in a way that represents Christ. Not only outside the church but inside too. Sometimes we get so outwardly focused that we at times can fail at helping those that are right next to us. Yes, our own family.
I trust that this will help all of us get healthy inside so that we will have a greater impact in reaching others who are outside the church. After all, is it no wonder that those outside the church don't want anything to do with those inside the church because they hear about all the nonsense and hypocrisy that goes on inside the church? Let's become more Christ-like.
