The Book of Galatians -- Episode Thirteen: "Sowing and Reaping" (Galatians 6:1-10)

August 19, 2022 • Dr. Kim Riddlebarger • Season 1 • Episode 13

In the sixth and concluding chapter of Galatians, Paul addresses the fallout caused by the Judaizers spying on those throughout the region exercising their liberty in Christ. It should not come as a surprise that the Judaizers would find people engaging in sinful conduct, shame them, and use them as examples of why Paul’s gospel supposedly leads to license and sinful behavior. Paul instructs the leaders of the churches of Galatia to bear with those struggling with sin and work to restore them–not shame nor leave them to the Judaizing wolves. Paul describes the actions of the Judaizers as sowing to the flesh and warms them that if they sow to the flesh, well then, then they will reap from the flesh. God is not deceived. Christians are to bear one another’s burdens and do those things which benefit their neighbors, especially those in the household of faith.
