Paul shows us how the fruit of the Spirit is meant to be directed outwardly to one another in the context of the Church. We are called to humility towards one another, not comparing and judging others. We are called to reconciliation with one another, forgiving and restoring. And we are called to sacrifice for one another, bearing one another's burdens.
Application Questions:
1. Do you view the church as an organization or as a family?
2. What does a posture of humility look like towards those around you? How can you stop the temptation to compare yourself to others?
3. How can you grow in restoration and reconciliation with brothers and sisters in Christ in your life?
4. Whose burdens can you bear now? How can you dedicate yourself to a life of burden bearing for the glory of Christ?
