Grace for your spirit October 9, 2009

Grace for your spirit

Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. Galatians 6:1

There are some people who “got caught” in a trespass and are only sorry they got caught. There are others who “are caught”, overwhelmed, and stuck in a trespass, and really want help getting out. II Corinthians tells us that those who “got caught” often only have worldly sorrow that leads to death. Those who are caught and wish to get out, develop a godly sorrow leading to repentance. Christian growth prepares us to help those who are experiencing godly sorrow and want help. Let’s be ready to help them in a spirit of gentleness. That is one of the joys of spiritual development.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
