Ecclesiastes 4:4-6, 13-16; Galatians 5:22-6:5

Galatians 5:22-26 “22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.”

Quit being CONCEITED, COMBATIVE, and JEALOUS with Jesus’ power

Galatians 6:1-3 “Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer* 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 burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. 3 If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.”

Share BURDENS & SUPPORT others with wisdom

Galatians 6:4-5 “4 Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. 5 For we are each responsible for our own conduct.

Focus on your RESPONSIBILITIES & pleasing GOD

Main Idea

Comparison is meaningless and wearisome.  Invite Jesus to help you build genuine relationships through His strength by humbly sharing others’ burdens and focusing on your responsibilities.
