Romans 15: 1-6
Living to Please Others 1 We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves. 2 We should help others do what is right and build them up in the Lord. 3 For even Christ didn’t live to please himself. As the Scriptures say, “The insults of those who insult you, O God, have fallen on me.” 4 Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled. 5 May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. 6 Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It’s like pulling teeth
Even Jesus did not live to please himself
Problems - Endurance - Character - Confidence in our hope of salvation
When you are living under tribulation, that’s when you are living as a christian correctly.
Encouragement
We know that we are going to win in the end but the evil one is going to bring his A game.
We should be finding the ways to live right.
Christ went to the cross on our behalf
Our response should be to find the right way to live (not to try to figure out what is not wrong.)
Become proper followers of christ
Find people on the same team and build eachother up.
Because people will come to insult you, so be encouraged!
And wait patiently for the promises of God to be fulfilled, because the promise is a winning promise.
