Today, I am reading and commenting on  Romans 15-16.

Today’s passage starts with Paul wrapping up his teaching that those who are strong in faith and in spirit should bear with the failings of the weak.  We should seek to please our neighbors in ways which build them up in faith in Christ.  Just as Christ accepted us and died serving us, so we should accept our fellow believers and be willing to die to bring salvation to our neighbors (and when Paul refers to our neighbors he is using the definition which Jesus gave us in the Parable of the Good Samaritan).

Paul then concludes his letter with a few more points worth remembering.  He writes that he will speak of nothing except what Christ has accomplished through Him.  In the same way, we should seek to give glory and credit to God for everything positive which has happened in our lives.  If you think that I have done something praiseworthy, even in writing this blog, the credit goes to God, Whose Spirit should be given credit for anything of value which might be contained in my writings (or other actions).

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
