Galatians 6:1-3

We Reap What We Sow

1 Dear brothers and sisters, if another Christian is overcome by some sin,
     you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path.
     And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.
2 Share each other's troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law of Christ.
3 If you think you are too important to help someone in need,
     you are only fooling yourself. You are really a nobody.
(NLT)

When you find that a brother or sister in Christ has been overcome by some sin, then there are three things that you need to be aware of before you try to help them out. One, you need to know that you are a mature Christ follower. Two, you are to guide and direct them gently back toward Christ. And third, you need to do this in a state of humility so that you will not fall into the same temptation yourself. If you do not fit all three categories then find someone who does and partner with them to learn and grow in Christ. If you think that you are too good or too important to help someone in need then you have become a fool and if you do not change your fall is not far off. We came into this world with nothing and we will leave this world with nothing, so while we are here we should not think of ourselves as better than anyone else because we are not. Only Christ is something and we are to follow Him and reflect Him in our life. Selfishness never saved anyone. Therefore humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and live your life for Christ.
