Every believer will be judged by God alone (Romans 14:10); therefore, believers have no right to judge one another. Each believer is someone else's servant that is, God's servant. For the weak believer to condemn another is like becoming his master. He reverses the role since all believers are servants not masters. The strong brother has his own master whom he will answer to for his beliefs and actions. Whether the strong stands or falls is anticipated by the weak to end up in failure, but Paul anticipates God's power working in the strong for his success to stand at Christ's Judgment Seat (Romans 14:10 where stand refers to appearing before Christ in judgment). And before God, he or she stands or falls. Each person is accountable to Christ, not to others (Matthew 7:3β5; Luke 6:37, 41β42; I Corinthians 4:3β5). While the church must be uncompromising in its stand against activities that are expressly forbidden by Scripture (such as adultery, homosexuality, murder, theft), it should not create additional rules and regulations and give them equal standing with God's Law. Often Christians base their moral judgments on opinion, personal dislikes, or cultural bias, rather than on the Word of God.
