Chapter Study & Analysis

Overview

Galatians 6 provides practical instructions for restoration, burden-bearing, and sowing. Paul concludes by emphasizing that the "new creature" is what matters most and that he glories only in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.

CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS

1. Gentle Restoration: If a brother is overtaken in a fault, those who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of meekness (v. 1). Our goal should always be healing, not condemnation.
2. Bearing Burdens: We fulfill the law of Christ by bearing one another’s burdens (v. 2). We are called to be an active support system for our brothers and sisters in their times of need.
3. Sowing and Reaping: Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (v. 7-8). We must be patient in well-doing, knowing that in due season we shall reap if we faint not.

Practical Lessons

FORMAL PRAYER

Lord, help us to be doers of Thy Word. Grant us the meekness to restore the fallen, the love to bear the burdens of others, and the patience to continue sowing to the Spirit, until we reap the harvest of eternal life. Amen.
