Galatians 6 gives an example of what living by the Spirit looks like. The example is restoring a person who has sinned or has manifested the “works of the flesh.” Restoration should be carried out by those who experience the Spirit producing humility in them. This restoration should also include walking with the person until they learn to walk by the Spirit. This is to carry one another’s burdens.

Although only one example is given here, there are many other examples of carrying one another’s burdens. We need to learn to give help and also to ask for help. We are designed to walk by the Spirit in community. However, on the other hand, before God, we must carry our own load. One day, each of us will give an account of our life to God.
