Galatians 6

Believers should support one another in love, restoring with gentleness those who have fallen into sin while being aware of their own weaknesses. Paul reminds them to bear one another’s burdens, fulfilling the law of Christ. He warns against pride and self-deception, urging everyone to examine their own actions. He emphasizes that whatever one sows, they will also reap—those who live for the flesh will experience destruction, but those who live by the Spirit will receive eternal life. Paul encourages perseverance in doing good, promising that in due time, they will reap a harvest if they do not give up. Believers should do good to everyone, especially fellow Christians. Finally, he stresses that boasting is in the cross of Jesus, not personal achievements, for grace comes only through Him. 

 

Christians are imperfect and sometimes find themselves caught up in shortcomings. Thankfully, God has created His family to support one another. If we remain humble and cautious, we can assist each other in repenting of sin and restoring a faithful relationship with God. Cultivating spiritual qualities in the lives of others benefits them and leads to gaining favor from the Lord and support from fellow believers. Failing to engage in supportive and loving actions toward others leaves our lives void of God’s blessings. You reap what you sow. We must never lose heart in doing good to fellow Christians while also seeking to help everyone we meet. In our service, we take pride only in our glorious Lord and Savior. 

 

Heavenly Father, thank You for calling us to walk in love, humility, and service. Help us to bear one another’s burdens with compassion and restore those who have fallen with gentleness. Keep us from pride and self-deception, and guide us to sow seeds of righteousness that lead to eternal life bountifully. Strengthen us to persevere in doing good, even when it feels difficult or unnoticed. Teach us to serve others selflessly, especially our brothers and sisters in Christ. May we boast only in You, finding our identity in the cross of Christ. We will reflect His love in our lives. 

 

Thought Questions:

 

-       How do you move past your own insecurities and get more involved in helping Christians overcome their struggles? Is this important?

 

-       Are you sowing spiritual gifts into the lives of others? In what sense do you reap what you sow when investing in people?

 

-       Why is it important to prioritize Christians when rendering service? Is it also important to serve and help those who are not yet Christians?
