Romans 15:7 - How to Love like God Does.

Romans 15:7 (NIV) Accept one another, then, 
just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring 
praise to God. 

Romans 15:7 (NLT) Therefore, accept each 
other just as Christ has accepted you so that God 
will be given glory. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Did you know that every time you show 
love, you give glory to God? 
   Heres how it works. Every time you 
show what God is like, you give him glory. And 
God is love. So when you love, you show Gods 
glory. 
   God says, I am loving. I am 
compassionate. I want you to be like me. I want you to 
develop my character.  
   Youre never going to be God. But God 
wants you to become godly. He wants you to develop 
his character - like father like son, like 
father like daughter. He wants you to learn to love 
people the way he loves people.  
   There are many ways to love like God 
does. One way to love other people is by accepting 
them.  
   Romans 15:7 says, Accept each other 
just as Christ has accepted you so that God will 
be given glory (NLT).  
   God wants you to accept everyone - no 
matter what. Does that mean you have to approve of 
everything they do? Of course not! 
   Theres a difference between acceptance 
and approval. While God loves and accepts you 
unconditionally, he doesnt approve of everything you do. 
It should be the same for you. You can accept 
everyone without approving of everything they do.  
   Love is not saying, I approve of 
everything you do. Love is saying, I accept you 
in spite of what you do. 
   With every person you encounter today, 
take the opportunity to give God glory by loving 
as he loves - with unconditional acceptance.
