When we see someone commit a sin, it is easy to judge. But instead, we are to fulfill the law of Christ by carrying their burdens and restoring them gently, all while being on guard for ourselves. We must test our own actions to keep us humble, ensuring that we are not sowing to please our flesh, but to live to please the Spirit. Because we are weak, it can be very hard to do this, and sometimes we feel weary. But God has given us His great promise that for those who do not give up, they will reap a harvest. May we therefore not stop doing good to all, especially those in the family of God.

There were those circumcised who were looking for a reason to make a good impression. However, Paul stood firm in the gospel and made his boast in no other source but the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was through the cross, and not his own will or law-keeping, that he had been crucified to the world and the world to him. What truly matters, then, is not the outward activity, but becoming a new creation in Christ.
Application: Lord Jesus, thank you for the cross and making us to be new creations in You. May I live to do good and to please You all the days of my life.
One Word: Those who do good and sow to please the Spirit will reap a harvest
