The apostle Paul tells us the attitude to adopt when we see others stumbling:
« 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. »(Galatians 6:1)
Paul is not talking here about people who deliberately maintain sinful patterns, but about people who stumble despite their intention to live for God’s glory.
When this happens, we should not laugh at them, spread it around or condemn them. Nor should we tolerate their sin.
Rather, we should restore them in a spirit of gentleness so that they are not hurt.
Moreover, we must be careful not to fall into sin ourselves or think that we are superior.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, help us to restore those who stumble and see that we also do not fall into sin.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
