Galatians 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. We should never sin, but we do. And when we do, we should ask
forgiveness immediately. But sometimes we don’t realize that we are doing
something wrong. That’s when we depend upon our Christian brothers and sisters
to help us. For example: I leave my house in the morning and forget to look in
the mirror. I may have some egg from breakfast left on my shirt collar, but I
don’t know that it’s there. So when a friend of mine sees it, he will tell me
so that I can wipe off the egg. That’s what our verse is talking about. When we
happen upon a friend involved in sin, we should talk to them about it. We
should not gossip to others about our friend, we should go directly to them.
And when we tell them, we should be kind about it. We should have the attitude
of helping, not controlling or gossiping. We should be willing to help each
other and we should be willing to listen to others when they have to
talk to us about our sin too.
