The making of righteousness in the body of Christ;

Romans 15:1 (NASB)
Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves.

Romans 14:1 (NASB)
Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.

Accepting one another in the beloved is what we are called to.. For we can all find fault with those in the body of Christ, because as those with fallen nature’s there is fault to find....

But because we are in the beloved, we are exhorted to accept the weakness and frailty of one another’s faith, not passing judgement on their opinions... For we all need this mercy and patience at times in our lives for our growth....

For when instruction is being put forth, is it done in love or with a attitude of superiority, elevating oneself above the other?...For love covers a multitude of sins and we are all called to walk in love one towards another.... Not mocking or looking to find fault, but preferring one another over ourselves....

For only the building up and growing of the Divine nature in the believer is the growth that is of eternal value... For building up and not tearing down is the expression of love...

So then the question would be;

When is building up done in love?

When and only when it comes from the Spirit of Christ in a believer...Otherwise, it comes from self and self can not but tear down and elevate itself over the other, for that is it’s nature...

For as Christians, that have been Christians for a season, we have all tasted what it is like to be fed through the Spirit of Christ in a brother or sister....And we have all been on the receiving end of the words of a fellow believer who’s faith is weak and they put forth more than the fruit that is being manifested in their lives, thereby elevating themselves.....This is but the fruit and action of self....

It is these we are told to accept, not passing judgment on their opinions, but to accept and love them for where their at in Christ... For they are in Christ and Christ Himself will perfect one as well as the other....

For love covers a multitude of sins.. And love and growing up in love is the all of our calling...
