Brothers, if a man is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, watching yourselves, lest you also be tempted. Galatians 6:1
As penitent sinners, trusting in Christ and His cross for pardon and forgiveness, we are called upon to love our brethren and, when a fellow believer is overtaken by some fault or sin, to rebuke and restore him or her to repentance and faith in Christ. Not to do so is not to love the brethren. But, when we must restore someone who has fallen into sin or error, we should do so in meekness and with care, knowing that we also could be tempted and overcome.
Grant that I love my fellow believers, Lord, and seek their spiritual welfare. But grant also that I not be haughty or condescending and that I use great caution that I do not fall into temptation. Amen.
