Restoration

It is Sunday and that means it is time for today's sermon. Today's text is found in Galatians 6:1-6.


1Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. 2Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, 5for each one should carry his own load.


6Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.

Christianity …. We are said to be the only army in the world that shoots it’s wounded. But that is not God’s desire … restoration is God’s desire. If I really want people to be restored there are some things in me that have to be in place.

I need to be:

1. Spiritually mature (You who are spiritual vs1)

2. Gentleness (vs 1 restore him gently)

3. Personally vigilant (watch himself vs 1)

4. Desire to help (Carry each other, vs 2)

5. Humility (vs 3)

6. Test your actions (vs 4 test your actions)

7. Compare against no one (vs 4)

8. Godly pride (vs 4 take pride in yourself)

9. Carry your own load (vs 5)

10. Fulfill the law of Christ


Love God & love other people, invest in restoration. It is life changing. There are no throw away people.
