Does your life as a Christian consist of a heartfelt desire to help others? Do you want them to walk in the freedom of Christ that you have come to know and enjoy? Paul instructs us how to help rather than hurt. How to build up instead of tearing down. Now don’t get me wrong, sin must be exposed, dealt with, and healed from. At times we must tear down lies to implant truth. Sin must be exposed so that Christ’s righteousness is highlighted. However, sin is not driven out of hearts and lives by abusing others. Nor can the heart be cleansed of sinful desire by hurting them with the harshness of our fleshly tone. Instead, in the gentleness of humility we approach the sin-ridden, in preparation to sacrificially care for them. We must pursue others desiring sincerely their good and growth in God, expecting nothing from them, but wholeheartedly investing in serving them with the gifts of God at work in us for their welfare. Paul writes, “Brothers and sisters, if someone is overtaken in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual, restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so that you also won’t be tempted” (Galatians 6:1).
