Romans 15:1-13 is the end part of a very long dissertation from the pen of the Apostle Paul. It brings to an end the section of Romans 12:1-15:13 that we have been following, but also concludes his series of applications in relation to love as the response believers should have to the overwhelming grace of God. Not only are we to love all people and one another, but all this culminates in accepting each other, welcoming each other (v.7) for this glorifies God. And the church, a multi-cultural people, must be able to get over this hurdle of ‘difference’ and so effectively show the love of Christ to the world.
