Galatians 6:1 Brothers, if a man be overtaken in a fault, you which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness… I. THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING MORALLY OVERCOME. II. THE DUTY OF RESTORATION. This includes — 1. A proper sense of the value of individuals — a man. 2. An intense sympathy with Jesus Christ in His saving work. 3. A practical knowledge of human nature. III. THE WORK OF RESTORATION IS TO BE DONE IN A PROPER SPIRIT. Dislocated limbs should be handled skilfully. What is involved in restoring a man? 1. A proper sense of sin. 2. A wise excitement of hope. 3. A deep conception of Christ's work in relation to fallen men. Beware of encouraging false peace. It is possible to bandage a limb without setting it. (J. Parker, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
