GALATIANS 6

1-10: Doing Good to All

Load and burden:

2:"....each other's burden...."
5:"....his own load...."

2 ---> When someone is caught in a sin (obvious, black area). This is the person's struggle, the person's burden. This will need to be shared if needed.
5 ---> this relates to our actions, these are our own responsibility in face of God. This is our own load that must not be shared with the others.


What's the guideline?

6:1"... if someone is caught in a sin, you..."
So, when's the right time for you to help a person share the load? What's standard will you use to say that this dude is sinning right now?
Sin is pretty much obvious, and we believe this is what Paul intending here.
And don't forget the keyword "gently".
Help in a gentle way, use common sense there.


"...Not weary in doing good..."

This applies to both things discussed before: helping up ppl sharing the load and do your own actions.
