Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted (Galatians 6:1).
Am I my brother’s keeper?
Paul addresses the Galatian believers as “brethren” nine times in this epistle. The implication is that since all Christians are eternally related then we have a responsibility to one another. When a growing Christian observes a fellow believer who has stumbled in his faith, we are to “restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness.” The apostle commands us to help the fallen family member. “Restore” is a present imperative and the term appears in secular writings of setting broken bones. Doctor Paul prescribes the restoration to be done “in a spirit of gentleness". Contained within the list of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) is “gentleness”, which carries the notion of meekness or mildness. Let’s humbly serve one another!
Employment Point: Restore spiritual health to fallen brethren with meekness.
