Christian Relationships

Galatians 6:1-10 May 30, 2010 AM As members of the Body of Christ, we have bestowed upon us certain obligations that we must carry out in obedience in order that the Body be strengthened. We are very blessed to have Paul’s letter to the Galatians instructing them on how to carry out the obligation of truly loving our brothers and sisters in Christ. We superficially say how we love people, places, things, and etc, but superficial 'love' is not the type of love Paul was prescribing for the Galatians. This superficial love is rooted in fallible human emotion ans is not the love that builds the Body of Christ. Paul was prescribing a 'tough' love for the Galatians and as its name implies, this kind of love is not easy and will only come through simple obedience of God's Law. This Love keep us in control over our emotions, leads us to obey God, and will spurn us on to proactively give council to others in the Body whom we see as struggling with sin. This type of Love is not easy, is not always welcome, and is not reserved solely for pastors, elders, and deacons. This Love only comes from obedience and mortification of sin and if consistently applied, will produce amazing results in restoration and growth.
