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.
1Brothers,1 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. 2Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5For each will have to bear his own load.
6Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
