God held out His hands 'ALL DAY LONG' to a disobedient and contrary people named Israel. The questions arose ... has God permanently rejected His people? Paul says ABSOLUTELY NOT.
In chapter 12 Paul teaches us how to respond to the wonderful mercy of God. He shares what true worship is all about and what gifts God gives us from the Holy Spirit so we can bless each other. He closes the chapter with sound principles for living. By living according to these instructions, we will please the Lord.
In chapter 12 Paul tells us how to live for God and the gifts God has given us for that purpose. Through that same Spirit, we are to love our fellow man and submit, for the Lord's sake, to the governing authorities in our community, State, and Nation. Chapter 13 teaches us how to be Godly citizens.
Paul returns to the subject of Christians loving Christians. Specifically, he addresses the issues of faith and conscience. All Christians are at various stages of their sanctification. In disputable matters, many Christians disagree. Those with overly sensitive consciences often can't accept what others are convinced of. Rather than "agreeing to disagree", Paul teaches the confident to refrain from practicing things others can't accept.
After teaching the saints to accept those with misgivings about controversial practices, Paul teaches them to accept those who fail because of their weaknesses. It's in line with the truth which says, "love covers a multitude of sin".
Paul concludes his letter with appreciation for people who mean a lot to him and to the Lord. God has brought many precious people into his life, and he is richly blessed through their lives. He warns them to avoid false teachers through Godly wisdom but to remain innocent regarding evil.
