       Second, Paul said the Romans were “able to instruct one another” (ESV). Now this fact is important because it shows that the church members individually were growing in familiarity with the Word of God and could help each other out by leading one another in the right direction. Now, this is not an excuse to become critical of one another—for we should never do that. When we become critical of one another, it just causes negativity and bad emotions to develop between people. And people don’t want to be around a brother or sister who is overly critical. That kind of person is no fun to be around. But by knowing the Word, and by living it out before others, by our goodness we can help one another and give good advice when the occasion arises. A church that isn’t founded in the Word of God isn’t a good church at all. We don’t want to be following the ways of this world, acting no different than those who are outside the church. But we want to display a quality of goodness.
