IN IMITATING THE APOSTLE TO BRING THE LOCAL CHURCHES INTO THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE BODY
OF CHRIST; IN FOLLOWING IN THE APOSTLE’S FOOTSTEPS TO BRING ALL THE SAINTS INTO THE BLENDING LIFE OF THE ENTIRE BODY OF CHRIST

OUTLINE

1. In imitating the apostle to bring the local churches into the fellowship of the Body of Christ—Rom. 14:3; 15:7-9, 25-33:
   1. Not despising or judging others in their doctrines or practices according to doctrinal concepts, religious practices, and anything that is unrelated to our basic faith.
   2. But receiving people according to God’s receiving, not being more narrow than God, thereby demonstrating and maintaining the oneness of the Body of Christ, and receiving people according to the Son of God, according to God, not according to doctrine or practice, thus maintaining a condition of absolute peace, smoothness, and order, without any deviation and discord, in the fellowship of the Body of Christ to the glory of God (14:3; 15:7); Christ being a servant of the circumcision to fulfill and confirm all the promises God gave to their fathers and a servant of the Gentiles so that they may glorify God for His mercy (15:8-9).
2. In following in the apostle’s footsteps to bring all the saints into the blending life of the entire Body of Christ—Rom. 16:
   1. Following in the apostle’s footsteps to bring us into the blending life of the entire Body of Christ by recommendations and greetings that the God of peace may crush Satan under our feet and we may enjoy the rich grace of Christ—vv. 1-16, 21-24, 20.
   2. Carrying out the mystery kept in silence in the times of the ages concerning the complete salvation of God in the fulfillment of the eternal economy of God for the Gentiles to have the obedience of faith unto glory to the only wise God through Jesus Christ—vv. 25-27.
