Understanding the Law of Christ in Galatians 6

Understanding the law of Christ in Galatians 6

The law of Christ is fulfilled when we bear each other's burdens

Restoring a wayward friend requires gentleness and self-awareness

Fulfilling the law of Christ involves carrying one another's burdens and living for the Spirit

Should we treat each other gently with the undeserved kindness that we've received from God? Is the law of Christ fulfilled when we bear each other's burdens? Let's see. How should we try to restore a wayward friend? Brothers, if anyone's 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. Is the law of Christ different to the law of Moses? How can we fulfill it? Carry one another's burdens. In this way you'll fulfill the law of Christ. What about those who think they better than others Too good to fall into sin For if a man thinks himself to be something when he nothing he deceives himself Is comparing ourselves to others wise? Pay attention to your own work, for then you'll get the satisfaction of a job well done. And you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we're each responsible for our own conduct. Should we share with our teachers? The one who's taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him. What is sowing to the spirit? Don't be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please the flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction. Whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let not become weary in doing good for at the proper time we reap a harvest if we don give up Therefore as we have opportunity let do good to all people especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Is there a possible clue to Paul's thorn-in-the-flesh here? See with what large letters I've written to you with my own hand. What particular part of the law was Paul wrestling with in Galatia? Where does the cross fit in? All who want to make a good showing in the flesh, try to compel you to be circumcised, simply so that they will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For those who are circumcised don't even keep the law themselves, but they want to have you circumcised, so that they may boast in your flesh. What did Paul want to boast about? But as for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything except for the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ The world been crucified to me through him and I been crucified to the world What really matters? It doesn't matter if you're circumcised or not. All that matters is that you're a new person. If you follow this rule, you'll belong to God's true people. God will treat you with undeserved kindness, and will bless you with peace. Had Paul had quite enough of such talk? From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear in my body the marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen. Let's treat each other gently with the undeserved kindness that we've received from God? Should we bear with each other's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ? You decide.
