Paul uses the example of differing opinions about food and days among the believers in Rome to teach that Christians should not despise or judge one another. Note that he does not advise them to find a happy medium between the contending opinions or to average the two extremes into a compromise. On the contrary, he admonished that “every one be fully convinced in his own mind.” He declares that God is able to make both stand, since both of them are serving the Lord in obedience to their individual convictions of His will… Each of us has to find personally what is the will of God for his own life, and let all others meet their responsibility to do the same… For God, by giving different commands to many, and putting them together according to His plan, shall accomplish ultimately His complete will.
