Staying On Track

by Alistair Begg

Galatians 6:1–10
 (ID: 1822)

When a fellow Christian “gets caught” in a sin, are we answerable for being our brother’s keeper? Drawing from Galatians 6, Alistair Begg answers this question with a compelling “Yes.” Those who walk by the Spirit are responsible for lovingly confronting and restoring those overtaken by sin. Scripture provides guidance on how to love our brothers and sisters in this way, always doing so with gentleness and caution.

Topics:
Galatians 6:1–10

Bear One Another's Burdens

1Brothers,1 oif anyone is caught in any transgression, pyou who are spiritual should restore him in qa spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2rBear one another's burdens, and sso fulfill tthe law of Christ. 3For uif anyone thinks he is something, vwhen he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4But let each one wtest his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5For xeach will have to bear his own load.

6yLet the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7zDo not be deceived: God is not mocked, for awhatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8For bthe one who sows to his own flesh cwill from the flesh reap corruption, but dthe one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9And elet us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, fif we do not give up. 10So then, gas we have opportunity, let us hdo good to everyone, and especially to those who are iof the household of faith.
