God has not left us in the dark about how to make decisions regarding Christian liberties. He has provided us with two resources to guide us as we make decisions about such matters: our conscience and His eternal Word.

Scripture teaches that all Christians will have to make decisions about topics that the Bible doesn’t explicitly address. Some common examples of this are the style of worship music that a church implements; consuming alcoholic drinks; what type of education or school a family should participate in; and entertainment choices.

The Christian life includes making decisions about issues and topics that the Bible either doesn't mention at all or that, if it does, are not entirely definitive. This is a reality that we, as Christians, cannot escape. But in God’s providence, He has given us in His Word key principles to help us navigate through these decisions and to do so primarily for the glory of God.

As Christians, it is guaranteed in this life that we will have to make decisions about issues and topics that the Bible doesn’t specifically address. Yet, in Romans, the apostle Paul outlines several key principles to ensure that Christians navigate their Christian liberties for the glory of God and for the sake of other Christians.

Christians are inevitably faced with having to make decisions about issues and topics that the Bible specifically doesn’t address. And the apostle Paul dedicates almost two chapters in the book of Romans to address this very issue. But towards the end of his instruction, Paul begins to pray to God the Father that his people wouldn’t have disunity regarding Christian liberties but that they would be of the same mind and heart because of their unity in Christ.

The Bible teaches that the Christian life consists of making decisions about certain things that the Bible doesn’t explicitly speak about. But through the writing of the apostle Paul to the Romans, God gives his instructions for making these decisions in a way that honors His name and edifies those who have repented of their sins and believed in Christ.

In every age, Christians are faced with making several decisions about certain things that the Bible never mentions or speaks on. In a profound portion of Scripture, the apostle Paul explains how Christians are to make these decisions. And as he does, Paul highlights the fact that because Christ has accepted us into His family, we should be willing to accept those brothers and sisters in Christ who may have a different view on a certain Christian liberty.

God’s Word teaches that all Christians will have to make decisions about certain things that the Bible doesn’t explicitly address or mention. The Bible also teaches that God’s people will differ in their decisions and convictions about those issues. But Paul’s primary point in Romans 14–15 is that even though those differences do exist, they should never hinder believers from glorifying God and edifying God’s people.

Every Christian is faced with making decisions about issues and topics that the Bible either doesn't mention at all or that, if it does, are not entirely definitive. The challenge for Christians is to exercise their liberties in such a way that glorifies God and is in the best interest of other brothers and sisters in Christ.
