Restoration of the fallen Believer

Restoration of the fallen Believer Restoration of the Fallen Believer ------------------------------------------- Ray Stark -- ------ --------------- --------------- What does the New Testament teaching conceing the restoration of the believers who have been involved in a kind of moral bankruptcy? What is the purpose of this document. This is not a topic at length, because the answer is simple? sorry. Our first text on this topic can be found in the writings of Paul Gal 6:1? Brethren, if a man be exceeded in a fault, ye who are spiritual, restore such a spirit of meekness, considering yourself, because you too be tempted. Paul uses the Greek language to describe how the believer is confronted with sin, it is very wrong noting. Pass: 4301 prolambano are Prol ban? O-1) before taking 2) to anticipate, prevent, 3) to take to avoid (that is, before it can flee or hide his crime) 3 a) surprise, find a pair of mode translations do Paul? S meaning even more clearly that the King James. Williams Brothers, if someone is caught in the act of doing evil, you who are spiritual, in a spirit of gentleness, you are entitled to each of you continued to think of you, for you can be too tempting Phillips Even if a man is detected in some sin, my brothers, the spiritual among them should quietly set him back on track, without any sense of superiority, but has cautioned against the temptation. This recalls the words of Jesus when the Pharisees before him a woman caught in adultery. John 8: 1? Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 and in the early hours of the moing, went into the temple, and all persons associated with him and he has taught and Saturday. 3 and the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, which had established in their midst, 4 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, just act. 5 Now Moses in the law such that there should be stoned, but what they say? 6 This he said, the temptation for him who might accuse him. But Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground, as if it were not listening. 7 And when they continued asking him, lifted himself, and said: He who is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again stooping and wrote on the ground. 9 And he heard, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, from the greatest even to the last, and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle. 10 When Jesus had lifted himself, and saw none but the woman, he said, "Woman, where are your accusers? did not condemn you? He said 11, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you to go and sin no more. Jesus, the only person who is without sin, chose to extend forgiveness and restoration for women rather than the conviction and sentence. There is no better example in the entire universe of a "spiritual" person that the Lord Jesus Christ himself. We must follow their example when it comes to moral failure in the church and follow the Apostle Paul? s request to see our hearts in order to avoid the temptation. Paul goes into more detail about a specific case in 2 Corinthians when they are asked to reaffirm their love for her brother, who had proclaimed the sentence of blatant sexual sin in 1 Corinthians 5. 2 Cor 2, 1? But with this particular me, I did not come to you in heaviness. 2 To do that, if I feel, therefore, is that makes me happy, but I was sorry for me? 3 and I wrote this about yourselves, because when I arrived, I have pain that they should be happy, have faith in you, that my joy is the joy of you all. 4 A great pain and anguish of heart he wrote with many tears, that will not be sorry, but you can see the love that I have in abundance upon you. 5? But if causing pain, has not offended, but in part: they can not overwhelm all. 6 enough for this man is that which was imposed the penalty of many. 7 So we have quite the opposite will forgive him and comfort him, perhaps this should not be ingested too bad. 8 Therefore I ask you to confirm your love toward him. 9 To this end, also write, I can hear evidence that, when you are obedient in all things. 10 For all that I forgive, I forgive also: If I forgave anything, for whom I have forgiven you, for your I forgive the person of Christ, 11 to Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant their devices. In this portion of Scripture we can see in the Apostle exhorts the strongest, that the church would restore his brother errors, and was against a vision, relentless attitude as he does in Galatians 6. Even as to say that an unspiritual, unforgiving attitude can open the door for Satan to cause chaos in the whole church. According to Paul unforgiveness of Satan is in itself? s devices. Sin in the church needs to be addressed. The way in which they must be treated in a spirit of gentleness, to restore the person (s) in question, and with an awareness that none of us is above temptation or possibility of transgression. -------------------------------------------------- --------------- --------------- copyright 2003 Sharon and Ray Stark
