"For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord."
Romans 14:7-8
In the context of this verse, with what is beinng said beforehand, its talking about basically not stirring others on. or causing brothers and sisters to fall, if you know somethinng that bothers them or that they are weak in or believe differently then you in, don't stir it on. don't create dissenion or be passive/aggressive i guess is another word.
so basically, we need to be aware of the ppl around us. this life is not about us, and ppl living according to our needs. but we need to be mindful of other people's needs too. its called being selfless. and i think some of us have a really hard time w that. unfortunately. i hate to admit, that i do sometimes. or a lot of times. but i do not live for myself. or die for myself. i live for God, and when I live for God, i am living to serve other people, because that's what Jesus did. Something I need to grow in more (among a lot of other things). servanthood.
I belong to the Lord. this is truth.
I belong to the Lord.
