"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. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."
Gal 6: 1-2
Gal 6: 1-2
God's ways of thinking are just so way different than ours. His desire for us and how we are to react and reach out is very different from how we actually do so many at times.
Here when Paul writes "you who are spiritual" refers to those who are more mature and have greater experience in the christian life (not some super class of exalted people) ..
If anyone makes a mistake or is stuck in some sin "Restore him in a spirit of gentleness" - Not with judgments, not with "Oh I cant believe he/she has done it again...", but press on to restore him/her in a spirit of gentleness. And also keep guard on your own self so that you are not tempted in the process.
Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ ! - Wow , imagine that ? ! Sometimes we are just too caught up in our own stuff and lock out everyone else (I, me , myself focus) , or sometimes we are on the other extreme where we classify "Ah If I were in their shoes then that wouldnt be a burden for me" and in the course of doing so we dismiss what other people are going through.
Let us step out in love and share His love by His grace.
God Bless
