Good Day!!! Today we are reading Galatians 6:1-5. I have posted it below. Please feel free to share your insights, applications, or comments. Here are today’s verses for you to read.
“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5 For each will have to bear his own load.” Galatians 6:1-5
Paul knows that some believers will fall into sin and they will need help getting out. Those who are more spiritual are responsible to help restore them in gentleness. He does not want them to be harsh or prideful but rather humble, recognizing that they too may fall into sin and need help being restored. Some believers are carrying a very heavy load right now. Paul gives us a simple command – help them. When we help others with their burdens, we are fulfilling the law of Christ to love one another. So, essentially Paul is saying – if you want to follow the law so badly, follow the law of Christ to love one another.
“2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2
My daily reflections: This is one area that I really love seeing the body of Christ walk out as we rally around those who are burdened and in need. God uses every persons gifting to reach out to others, we all have different strengths and abilities, During this unprecedented time, there are many in need. Jesus did not only help the saved but also the unsaved. What a testimony we could be for unbelievers simply by offering help. Being there and available for those who have also fallen, we need to help heal and restore our wounded.
Reflection Questions: When you think of someone who has fallen into sin or who is heavily burdened – who comes to mind? What are some ways you can come alongside and love and help this person?
