Then, in chapter six he turned to the matter of Christian du ty. He made clear that profession and practice should be in hearty agreement. In the verses comprising today's lesson he revealed what the attitude of believers toward one another should be. Verse one set forth the duty of a Christian toward a fellow believer who is guilty of a breach of conduct. When a believer and church member yields to temptation and is guilty of wrong doing, a true Christian has a splendid op portunity to prove the genuineness of his spirituality by his attitude and behavior toward the fallen one. Rather than re joicing over the fact that his brother has fallen into sin, or displaying an arrogant spirit toward him, it is the duty of the Christian to deal tactfully, carefully, sympathetically, meekly, prayerfully, and lovingly with him, both for the sake of the offender and for his own sake in the event that he finds himself in a similar position. r - ,:. If a believer in Christ falls into some sin, he needs to be restored to fellowship with his Lord and with his fellow Christians. The word "restore" is a surgical term, which means "to reset." The thought is that such a "dislocated" person is spiritually out-of-joint. The process of "resetting" or "restoring" is a delicate one. ... It requires such skill that only those who are spiritual should attempt the task. When a believer in Christ falls into some old habit or besetting sin, our Christian duty is to speak to him about it and point out the evil of it, emphasizing the provision which God has made whereby forgiveness may be received and the life may be transformed into a victorious one. This should be done in a kind, prayerful, and loving manner, with a view to leading him to forsake his sin, to renew his fellowship with God, and to appropriate unto himself the strength which the Lord offers him to live triumphantly. Sooner or later, every person has burdens physical, mental, social, and spiritual. Recognizing the reality of burdens is not enough. What we really want to know is how to manage them worthily and victoriously. In verse two, Paul urged Christians to bear their own burdens. Implying that there are some Which cannot be transferred. No one can transfer the burden of responsibility. There is a life for you to live and a service for you to render that can never be transferred to another. In forbiding the continuance of an action which was then going on, Paul said: "Stop deceiving yourselves: God is no mocked." "Mocked" means "to turn up the nose," "to ridicule," or "to sneer at." One is a fool if he thinks that he can break God's law and escape the consequences. Nobody can outwit God and reap a harvest different from that which he has sown. You will reap the same kind of seed that you sow, and more than you sow. Knowing that we are liable to get tired of doing good, God exhorts us not to grow weary and cease doing. The real test comes in continuing to do good. The condition of getting tired of doing good is prevalent, distressing, and injurious. Note the plea "Let us not be weary in well-doing." Don't forget the promise "For in due season we shall reap." The provision is quite clear "if we faint not." God will provide the strength which we shall need for the task which he has assigned to us. Concerning our priceless opportunities to do good, I should like to emphasize their source. Unfortunately some miss their golden opportunity. Since priceless opportunities never come again, we should seize them upon their arrival and make the most of them. Any longing for a second chance, after an opportunity has been lost, is entirely in vain. In the home, business, society, and the church, we are afforded opportunities to believe something, to be somebody, to see something, to do something, and to leave something. Let us practice doing good to our brethern in Christ especially, but also to as many who are not Chris tians as is possible. v Obituaries MRS.
