In Galatians 6:1-10, Paul took the general principles of the fruit of the Spirit (which we studied last week) and applied them to three situations in the church in order to provide concrete examples of Christian living. The three situations are: when a Christian falls into sin, when ministers need support, and when any member needs help. The way we treat sinners, ministers, and the needy demonstrates the reality of our faith and the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
God is free to define Israel, to show mercy or wrath, and to add to Israel from the nations.
The first psalm describes the two ways to live and their results.
With parables and warnings, Jesus told everyone in his day and ours to be ready for the coming of the Son of Man.
