Christians, whom I love with all my heart, would surely tremble if they really knew just how deep the evil is in today's world, and the places where it is entrenched in our society. Those deceived of Christ's are the result of being taught by those who refuse Christ's command to Peter, to 'feed my sheep.'

 

 John 21: Read All.

 

Christ meant that if you love Him, you'll properly teach His sheep, The Body of Christ, regardless of whether His Word is popular or not, or accepted.
     We now conclude with this last Book of Galatians, and we ask a Word of Wisdom in Christ Yeshuw'ah Messiah's Name, Amen.

Gal 6:1   Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

     If someone offended you and they were obviously wrong and they know it, but they come to you in sorrow, and humbleness, trying to make amends, which wouldn't or couldn't forgive them, and love them as a fellow-heir in Christ? We are to 'restore' that one, uplift them, letting them know that, hey... we are sinners too, and it could have just as easily happened to us, but those who offend, without remorse, uncaring, what then? Well, you don't have to put up with their haughty behaviour, but one can still forgive, in hopes that they will change. Otherwise, you're in for a roller-coaster ride with hard emotional feelings against that one.
     The word 'fault' here is 'paraptoma' in the Greek meaning 'a side-slip (lapse or deviation), i.e. (unintentional) error or (wilful) transgression' (Strong's no.3900). There is a dividing line on the type of 'sin', such as murder and what not, but that involves punishment our Father commanded us to carry out, yet we can still forgive their ignorance of following evil, even though punishment must be carried out. So Paul's not talking about those really serious 'sins', but little errors we all are guilty of at one time or another.

Gal 6:2   Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

     This word 'burdens' is the Greek 'baros', meaning 'a load, weight' (Strong's no.922). So again, Paul's talking about little 'slip ups' our flesh makes us fall into.
     It can be assured, that if we go on a rampage against others who occasionally do little slip-ups, we are setting ourselves up for God's hand in punishment later. Isn't it embarrassing after rebuking someone for a sin that we find ourselves committing later? What? Never happened to you, you say? You can't make me believe it.
     The flesh world wants us to think forgiving others is a sign of weakness. It is...a sign of Strength, from Christ's Spirit dwelling in us! One could even say, when we forgive others for little slips, we make room for our slip-ups to come, for it's just a matter of time before it'll happen. How do we know when we are at 'fault’ or others for that matter? Study God's Word and you'll know, for 'sin is the transgression of the law'.

Gal 6:3    For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

     When someone comes into Christ's Body, setting themselves up in vanity and trying to be something they're not, 'nip it in the bud', be quick and sure about it. Again, how do we know when we are in the right to rebuke? God's Word is The Measuring Stick, God's Plumb Line. As Christ said in Matt 5:30: "And if thy right hand offends thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell." Our Lord was referring to an evil one within the Body of Christ's members, not our flesh bodies.
