GALATIANS 6
See others humbly (1–2). Your response to another’s fall reveals your own walk, whether it is spiritual or not. Pride will make it impossible for you to help the fallen, but humility will bring blessing to you and to them.
See yourself honestly (3–5). Do you use somebody’s fall to make yourself look better? Or do you know yourself, accept yourself, and seek to please God alone?
See your leaders appreciatively (6–10). When you give to others whose ministry blesses you, you are sowing seed that will bear fruit. When you use your resources for sinful purposes, you sow to the flesh and will reap a sad harvest.
See the Cross clearly (11–18). The false teachers wanted the world’s praise, so they avoided the Cross; but the true believer will glory in the Cross, even if it means suffering the world’s enmity.
Faithfully Restore Them
The word translated “restore” in Galatians 6:1 also means “to set a broken bone.” How gentle and loving we must be when we seek to help fallen brothers or sisters, for what we do will affect them and the body of Christ.
