JESUS = BEARING LOVE: Galatians 5:25-6:5

SCRIPTURE

Galatians 5:26-6:5

26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. 6:1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5 For each will have to bear his own load.

DISCUSSION

1. Was there anything from the sermon, big idea, or Galatians 5:26-6:5 that stood out to you, challenged you, or confused you?

2. Why does being conceited produce “provoking” and “envying” (5 v 26), do you think?

3. How will the gospel make people both humble and bold? How will the gospel remove conceit?

4. Instead of the Galatians seeking self-worth in relationships with other Christians, what does Paul tell them to do in chapter 6 verse 1? Verse 2? Verses 3-4? Verse 5? Verse 6?

5. Which of these is Ekklesia good at? Which of these could we do better?

6. How could you as an individual make a difference?
