GALATIANS 6

v1Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

Overtaken=paraptoma=side slip/deviation/lapse/ surprised/unaware
Heb 12:3

every one has specialised temptations, spiritual = led by SOG,under His Influence

2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ
3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Baros= burden/heaviness/
Ur Self ID, hidden in christ= sin of pharisees, poor self perception Luke 18:1

4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For each one shall bear his own load.

No intolerance towards another ( Mt 7:3-5)-
Each has burden and we ll need help sooner or later

6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

1 Cor 9:7,14
taking care of the one who ministers the Word/finance

7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart

Simply agree with this law like Physics/ disagree and sow carnally..Mock-sneer, natural shadow of spiritual- farming

if u want peace , sow peace
Indulgence of fleshly appetites, sow = action
Act independent of SOG or in cooperation.

12 As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

• Carnal ppl look for actions not attitudes, external not internal
• fail to see HS working
• Holiness is a fruit not root of salvation
• To avoid persecution Faith+Works

• Hypocrites demand compliance to gloryin the flesh/appearnce/outward things and not in condition of heart
• 2 cor 5:12

14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

Not glorying in carnal but ONLY what Jesus has done
Double crucifixion
remove urself from world system
remove world system from you

dying to values of the flesh- ambition and pride

• circumcison (or church memebership/water baptism /religious rites ) does not determine status only spirit can birth and transform a new creation

16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
17 From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

Rule of new creation
is peace and mercy
the true Israel of God
