Galatians 6:1โ€“18: New Creation Living

Paul begins the last chapter in his letter to the Galatians (Galatians 6:1โ€“18) with more instructions on how to live out their freedom in Christ, especially in regard to relationship. He's already directed them to walk by the Spirit, but what happens when someone is overcome by wrongdoing? Paul calls for gentle restoration and then concludes his letter back on the topic he started withโ€”circumcision doesn't matter. What counts is living as a new creation.

Our Burden-Bearing God

What burdens are you carrying today? An ill child? Financial need? Deteriorating health? Diminishing capacity? Loneliness? Indecision? Losing someone you love? Failed mentors? Injustice? Growth of wickedness? Isaiah warns that trusting in anything other than God will only increase those burdens making them even more burdensome.
