Galatians 6:1-2
Restore Such a One
1 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual
restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself
lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and
so fulfill the law of Christ.
Introduction Ch 5, Paul contrasted the works of the flesh with the
fruit of the Spirit. Told us to abide in Christ, to walk in the
Spirit, live by the Spirit, crucify the flesh, defeat evil in our
lives so we can be blessed in the Kingdom of God - love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.
However, Christians still fall into sin. They still miss the mark
sometimes. They still get into trouble, and even suffer the consequences
of missing out on the blessings of the Kingdom of God..
