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.
In three related episodes, Jesus demonstrated his authority to forgive our sins.
While David used desperate and even deceptive means of escape, God provided for him because of his grace and faithfulness.
The Day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night but not for those who live in the light.
