Overcomer for the OUTCAST: Accept others as Jesus accepted you

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

• Before following Jesus, how were you an outcast of the kingdom of Heaven? 

• How does a person go from outcast to ‘accepted by Jesus’? 

• Since Christ accepted you, what are you instructed to do for others in Romans 15:7? 

• What does accepting others, especially outcasts, look like? What does it not include? 

• What is the result of accepting others like Jesus accepts you according to Romans 15:7? 

• Reflect honestly: how are you doing with putting this verse into action? Are you an accepting and loving person or more judgmental and exclusive? What needs to change?
