1 | what is involved in restoring....... | Gal 6:1 | Aixen7z4 | 130537 | ||
It is a noble goal. “Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins” (James 5:19:20). One is tempted to recommend methods such as confrontation and covenanting and mentoring. But it is a spiritual task that cannot be approached with human methods. Galatians 6:1 itself says it should only be undertaken by those who are spiritual, that is, those who are controlled by the Spirit. It is God who must guide you in the process. It is God who works in you to will and to do such a thing. But he tells you in advance that it must be done with gentleness and humility. “And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for love shall (convert him, and save the soul from death and) cover the multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8). |

Good post, Aixen. Knowing or being involved in such a thing requires special caution. Let us not forget the rest of that admonition in Galatians 6:1 where Paul says it should be done "in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted." Each of us, given the right circumstances, could easily fall into any sin that we see others involved in. This is why we do these things in meekness... fully acknowledging our complete reliance on the Lord Himself. | ||||||
