 - 3 Careful so you are not tempted (to make yourself look better, become judgmental, see others faults but dismiss their own - judge you by your actions, but judge themselves by their intentions. 

 

*When I am in this position I try to use my own mistakes to act as a buffer before I confront them on their actions.

 

You know when someone starts to tell you where you need to improve and work on stuff… you have a gut level reaction to want to point out what they need to work on - and they do - so I put myself in that position when I confront someone - I say things like “look I used to wrestle with and I currently wrestle with… and I need people to help me with… I want them to know we are on the same team, dealing with the same stuff… our flesh! 

 

 

 - 4 Carry their burden 

Pastor Garth you are so spiritual…. uh yea, right. The truth is I have had people carry my burden with me… even drag me along in my burden and keep me accountable even when I just wanted to give up. 

 

Its not easy carrying someones burden… its heavy, its makes you cranky if you are not careful… 

you want to give up! 

 

But I have many to thank for carrying my burden, I am glad they did not give up on me. 

 

 

 

 - 5 fulfill the law? Remember Chapter 5 of Galatians… fulfilling the law is living in the fruits of the spirit - we just got done covering the law as seen in the fruits of the spirit… now we get to fulfill them by living in the fruits of the spirit. 

 

So what is this saying… well if you back up looking at the end of Galatians 5 and the fruits of the spirit you see two things in the greek text. One is that the Fruit of the spirit is LOVE… and then Love is described by what we call the fruits.   -  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.

 

so that is fulfilling the law: loving others. 

Secondly we then understand that the fruit of the spirit is to be enjoyed by others.

 

Have you ever had a friend you loved being around just becasue they exude the fruits of the spirit… even when you knew you were a butthead? you got to eat of their fruits… while you were in sin, trouble, bad attitude, struggling - whatever it is! And you enjoy their fruit which helps you step out of what you are working on. Why not YOU be that guy!
