Something Better
July 17, 2022 – Goodness
Galatians 6:1-10
The world is divided into that which is good and that which is evil. There is a greater life to be lived in the choice of what is good. It is how God originally created all things and it is essential to his nature. As creatures made in God’s image, goodness reflects our purpose and design. The story of redemption in Christ is a story of restoration to what is good in all we experience and say and do.
Galatians 6:1-10 1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5 For each will have to bear his own load.
6 Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
