Seeking the Right Help
Here again, we see that it is the function of the body of Christ to help restore people who have fallen. The way that this is done is through the loving use of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Those walking by the Spirit help fallen brothers and sisters to know that God will not treat them as their sins deserve (Psalm 103:10) for He treated Jesus as their sins deserve, and that their sin was put on Jesus and therefore removed from them as far as the East is from the West (Psalm 103:12), and that God only has love and mercy for them as He exhausted all His wrath against sin on Jesus at the cross (1 Thessalonians 1:10).
When looking for help, seek out those who are patient, loving, and encouraging, but also able to rebuke you in love when needed. You are looking for someone who is walking by the Spirit and able to correct and teach you from God’s Word.
But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Friend, you probably know this, but it is possible to remain in the sewer of impurity for weeks, months or years if we have isolated ourselves from others, don’t attend church, and do not seek out help. Don’t let this happen to you!
