Sun, 08 Nov 2026 10:41:05 GMT In Romans 15:1–13, Paul calls believers to follow Christ's example by putting others before themselves, accepting one another, and pursuing unity rather than allowing differences to divide the church. Through the promises of the Old Testament, Paul demonstrates that God's plan has always been to bring Jews and Gentiles together in Christ, united in worship and faith.
