Galatians 6: 1-6
Who can be overtaken by a fault?
- Review of the men from last week
- Adding a look at Naomi this week
What should happen to this one overtaken?
Romans 15:1
2 Timothy 2:24-26
Self-deception is the worst kind of deception
- We are to be careful how we restore a fallen believer
- We are to consider how easily we can fall, the same way and be humble and meek in dealing with others
VS 2: Bear each others burdens. Burdens in this verse means “a weight”.
You should not say of others, that’s their own fault they have that burden.
The Law of Jesus Christ is not the same as the Law of Moses, it is a law of love.
VS 4: This verse does not refer to boasting. When we rejoice in ourselves, we are humbled and realize that we can’t do things ourselves, but only with God’s help.
VS 5: Every man shall bear his own burden. Burden in this verse means, a role/a service/a ministry.
God has a purpose for each of us.
Ministry has everything to do with people, not things.
A look at Naomi. Ruth 1 &2
Naomi doubts God’s plan and love for her since her husband and sons are dead. She is blaming God.
Ruth marries Boaz. Boaz means “to strengthen”. That’s how we should be to others, a strengthener.
Application:
”I’m not much but God can do great things.”
Am I doing my part? Am I willing to let Jesus use me for His purpose to restore another believer? Will I give Him my feet, hands, voice, and time?
