Gal. 6:1 Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who
are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself or you may be
tempted.
Do you mean that we are supposed to confront someone if they
are sinning or preparing to sin? Absolutely!
But do it out of love. Before you go to that person spend time praying;
Ask God to show you how you are sinning first, so you can repent. Ask God if
your reasons for going to that person are pure and holy. Do not go to others to
discuss the matter.
Then when you meet with that person; Do it with love. Do it
as their peer because you too have also fallen short of God’s glory. It is only through God’s grace by sending
Jesus that we all can be called blameless in front of God.
Please pray with me – Holy merciful father in heaven we ask
that you show us where we are falling short and sinning. Please forgive us and help us turn from our
sin. Please help us to go to our
brother/sister gently and in love to speak to them your truth. Give us the words to say and prepare their
hearts and minds to be obedient and respond to them. Please give us courage and a tender loving
heart and mind. Amen
