Let Us Not Grow Weary While Doing Good – Galatians 6:9

‘And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. ‘

Galatians 6:9

Galatians 6:9 encourages us to continue doing good, even when it becomes difficult or tiring. Verse nine reminds us that our efforts to do good are worthwhile and that we should not give up when faced with challenges.

The verse encourages us to trust that, in God’s timing, our good deeds will be rewarded and that we have a responsibility to do good to others, especially to fellow believers. It is a reminder to keep going and not to become weary in our efforts to do good and to make a positive impact in the world.

Here are 5 Encouraging Points We Learn from Galatians 6:9

 

  1. We should not grow weary in doing good, as it will ultimately be worth it in the end.
  2. We should not be discouraged by the struggles and challenges that come with trying to live a righteous life but keep focused on the grace of Jesus Christ and the impact our actions have on others.
  3. We should not give up on trying to help others, especially fellow believers.
  4. We should not let others discourage us from doing good, but instead, keep focused on our own actions and the impact we have on others.
  5. We should continue to strive in doing our Father’s work, as it will ultimately lead to spiritual growth, maturity, and reward.

 

Paul emphasizes sacrificial service, particularly to our fellow believers. He exhorts believers to be humble in all things and to exalt only the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ (Galatians 6:14), just as he did. Mostly, he is working to repair the damage done by the Judaizers that came from the Jerusalem Church to the new believers in Galatia.

It is ironic that we are still fighting within the Church against those who would bind us back to the law when we have something so much better: grace through faith for salvation!

Galatians was written around 57-58 AD. The author of Galatians is the apostle Paul (Galatians 1:1-3). Paul was writing to the Gentile churches in Galatia, which were located in modern-day Turkey.

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

All of Scripture fits perfectly.

 

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Romans 10:9
