Galatians 6:1–5 (KJV)• 1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in
a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:1–5 (KJV)
• 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden.

A FAULT:
In the Greek language it implies, “a transgression,” “a fall”; such as a falling back into legal bondage.
“Fault is defined as an unattractive or unsatisfactory feature; a defect or mistake. (In tennis and similar games) a service of the ball not in accordance with the rules.
![Page 5: Bible Study “ Restoration ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816643550346895dd9b950/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A FAULT:Responsibilities for an accident or
misfortune. Geology an extended break in a rock
formation, marked by the relative displacement and discontinuity of strata”.
• Both are possible because the verb that Paul uses here can mean either “detect” or “overtake,” with the element of surprise
![Page 6: Bible Study “ Restoration ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816643550346895dd9b950/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Focus:• We are challenged by the apostle
Paul to deal tenderly with those who are overtaken in a fault.• Paul put a common case:–“If a man is overtaken in a fault, that is the subject is cause to sin by the surprise of temptation.
![Page 7: Bible Study “ Restoration ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816643550346895dd9b950/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Focus:– It is one thing to overtake a fault, which is sin deliberately, willfully and knowingly and another thing to be overtaken in a fault.
• The latter is the focus of the apostle and he is instructing the church to use great tenderness to restore.

THOSE WHO ARE SPIRITUAL
The spiritual is not only ministers but also other Christian’s members of the body of Christ who are living a victorious life.
It is our duty as “The spiritual” to restore those who are overtaken in sin with a spirit of meekness.
![Page 9: Bible Study “ Restoration ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816643550346895dd9b950/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
THOSE WHO ARE SPIRITUALThat means it is the duty of the spiritual to
restore. The spiritual should make every effort to encourage and prayerfully council the subjects taken over in a fault (sin) to bring them back to true repentance.
The wrongdoing may fall under the heading of one of the ‘works of the flesh’ (5:19–21). It will certainly be inconsistent with the fruit of the Spirit. Whatever form it takes, the offender must be rehabilitated, and not made to feel like a pariah.

THOSE WHO ARE SPIRITUAL
It is likely that Paul is not thinking of behavior which so flagrantly flouts accepted standards that it brings the community into public disrepute (cf. 1 Cor. 5:5) or which can best be dealt with by a temporary withholding of social fellowship (1 Cor. 5:11; Rom. 16:17).
Those who are truly spiritual whose life and conduct alike the Spirit of Christ controls must undertake the rehabilitation.

RESTOREThe Greek is used of a dislocated limb.
The original word is “KATARTIZETE’ which signifies to set in joint a dislocated bone.
Accordingly we should endeavor to:– Set the dislocated bone in joint again– Persuading them to return to their duty– Conforming our love to them by showing
mercy.

RESTORE• Such is the tenderness with which we should
treat a fallen member of the Church in restoring him to a better state.
• Restoration should be done in a spirit of meekness; not in wrath and passion as those who triumph in a brother’s fall.
• Many needful reproofs lose their efficacy because they were given in wrath.
![Page 13: Bible Study “ Restoration ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816643550346895dd9b950/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
RESTORE• When reproofs are given with calmness
and tenderness and appear to proceed from sincere affection and concern for the welfare of the one overtaken in a fault, they are more likely to produce good results.

THE SPIRIT OF MEEKNESS:
The meekness that is the gift of the Holy Spirit working in our spirit (Gal. 5:22, 25).
• “MEEKNESS” is that temper of spirit towards God whereby we accept His dealings without disputing.
• To our brothers and sisters we endure meekly their provocations, and do not withdraw ourselves from the burdens which their sins impose upon us
![Page 15: Bible Study “ Restoration ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816643550346895dd9b950/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
THE SPIRIT OF MEEKNESS
A very good reason why restoration should be done in with a spirit of meekness is, we, none of us know but it may some time or other be our own case.
![Page 16: Bible Study “ Restoration ”](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816643550346895dd9b950/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
THOU ALSO BE TEMPTED
• We also may be tempted and overcome by the temptation and be in need of the same meekness and tenderness of our spiritual brothers and sisters.
• As is likely to happen to those who reprove others without meekness (compare Mt 7:2–5; 2Ti 2:25; Jam 2:13).
• There must be the spirit of meekness as we seek to help others, not thinking we are better than they. Let God do the judging and the rewarding; He never makes a mistake
