ROMANS—NOTE ON Romans 14:5 The weak thought some days were more important than others. Given the Jewish background (see v. Romans 14:14), the day is the Sabbath. The strong think every day is the same. Both views are fine. Each person must follow his own conscience. Unlike the other nine commandments in Exodus 20:1, the Sabbath commandment seems to have been part of the “ceremonial laws” of the Mosaic covenant. Like the laws about sacrifices and diet, sabbath observance is not binding on new covenant believers (see also Galatians 4:10; Colossians 2:16). However, regular times of worship are commanded for Christians (Hebrews 10:24; see Acts 20:7).
