Galatians 6:1-2

Gakatians 6:1-2
1Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

I use to get on my soap box about smoking. I discuss health issues not just Christian issue.

Later on in my life guess what, I became a late in life smoker.

I used to get on my soap box about people who knew the Lord, but didn't come to church anymore and didn't live a life that someone who didn't know them would think they were a Christian.

Then I fell away from the church and the Lord, and did things that if people didn't know me they would not know I was a Christian.

Looking at verse 1 in Galatians we see that we are to restore a brother if he is overtaken in fault. We are to do this in meekness so that we are not tempted also.

So, I guess you can say I was taught some lessons in my life, and trust me these aren't the only lesson that I have had to learn in my life.

So how should we restore Christians when they are overtaken? Does that count for the ones whose names everyone knows or just the ones from the small church in the dell?

We are to treat people how we would want to be treated the Bible says. Do We?

I am assuming that everyone agrees that because of the way I acted I was tempted, and failed.

Thoughts?

We should endeavour to walk in the humility of the Lord, for we are all fallible beings. There's certainly a time to make a stand for righteousness, but we are to accomplish this by operating in His great love. May Father help us to do so, for the glory of Jesus!

Good post, friend!

We have had contact with many who have put their faith on hold. We just went on relating to them as before. We still have considerable influence in many of their lives. We have discovered that people give up on God far more easily than He gives up on them!

Ya, I think we need to see that people are saved by grace and not works. Often we only see the outside of people and don't know the work of grace that God is doing inside.
Sounds like God's grace is still working in your heart saved to not be so judgemental and give grace to others just as Jesus does. I rejioce in what you have learned.

When someone is doing good , there are always those who are patting them on the back and encouraging them. Let the same person slip into sin , and some of those that was there will be the one pointing fingers, we are to be loyal in love at all times, that is when they need us the most with love and gentleness, this is a true loyal friend and christian. What we sow we shall reap, it is wise to consider ourselves , no one here on this earth is exempted from sin.

The Lord is great!!

He has shown me that to call a sin a sin, which we all sin, is fine as long as it is done in meekness. He always said go and sin know more, not yeah I know your sinning but I also see you are happy so Ok.

The way I approached the subjects was not done right in many cases. Thank goodness I am still growing and THANK GOODNESS, He is a forgiving God!!!

We all stumble and we all fall at times, some of us more than others. I can confirm that. lol

Yet He is always there arms wide open to welcome us back home.


Great thoughts from you all, please keep them coming.

I think God uses our failures. Sometimes He allows certain things to ween us off of our mountain top feelings to get into the valley to do the work. Humble pie sometimes. Been there. God bless you for your testimony!
