Each Of Us Will Account For Himself Before GOD

"In fact, none of us lives for himself, nor dies for himself.  If we live, we live for the LORD, and if we die, we die for the LORD.  Either in life or in death, we belong to the LORD.  It was for this purpose that CHRIST both died and came to life again, to be LORD, both of the living and of the dead.

Then you, why do you criticize your brother or sister?  And you, why do you despise them?  For we will all appear at the tribunal of GOD.  It is written: I swear by MYSELF--word of the LORD--every knee will bend before ME, and every tongue shall give glory to GOD.  So each of us will account for himself before GOD." - Romans 14:7-12 

(Paul reminds us of what JESUS had taught [Mark 7:19]: there is no food or drink that is forbidden.  Paul rejects, however, the disputes about all these things.  Do not criticize their scruples.  Whoever has overcome common prejudices must respect the conscience of others.  Each must sacrifice his own comfort for the well being of others when this is required.  We find similar difficulties when Christians of different backgrounds, races or political groups have to live together.  It is an opportunity for them to show respect for one another.)
