Romans 15:7 · KJV

"Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God."

King James Version

Passage Context

⁵Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

⁶That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

⁸Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

⁹And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

Devotional Reflection

LoveHopeCompassionAwe

I hate racism and keeping people out. But I don't hate these things as much as God hates them. On the other hand, we can look forward to the choir of heaven (see Revelation 7:9ff.) if we accept each other in Jesus and don't let race, language, culture, or suspicion stop us from loving each other as much as the Savior has already loved us.

Prayer

I hope that your Spirit and grace will assist us in breaking down any walls that divide your people on the basis of privilege, culture, or racial identity. Teach us to love one another the way that you love us, and teach me to do the same. In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.

I hope that we would let Your Spirit and Your grace assist us in tearing down any barriers that divide Your people because of racial, cultural, or socioeconomic differences. Teach me and the rest of the world to love everyone like You do. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
