Galatians 6: 1-10 Corps - 1983 - Part 1
Galatians 6:1-10 78 Paul had his credentials, and the believers have their credentials also. What are they? Chapter 6:1–10 deals with the believers credentials in handling doctrinal error. In order to understand this section, suggested additional readings are: 1. Craig Martindale’s Way Magazine articles on “Confrontation & Restoration” January/February 1983 (I) – deals with Galatians 6:1 March/April 1983 (II) – covers verse 6, which is central to this study and scope of the entire situation. May/June 1983 (III) – covers verses 1-10. Also deals with Abundant Sharing. 2. Christians Should Be Prosperous (Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille) 3. SNS #834: “The Mark of Quality” (Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille), covering the end of Galatians chapter 5 and all of chapter 6. It is called the “Mark of Quality” because the mark of quality is the believer’s walk. As you walk by the spirit, you manifest the spirit and you have the fruit of the spirit that it talks about in chapter 5. That is your “mark of quality” as a believer. Now specifically relating this section dealing with Abundant Sharing; that mark of quality is what gives you the credentials to handle these doctrinal problems that came up in Galatia, as well as in your fellowship. 6:6 “communicate” – (Gr.) koinoneo – to share fully. Also see Hebrews 2:14. We are to share fully of our abundance with the one that taught us God’s Word. See Romans 15:25 – 27. vs. 26 “contribution”: (Gr.) koinonia – for the saints in Jerusalem. The Galatians were debtors to those who taught them the word. “poor” – those who lived on the Abundant Sharing from the people (i.e. staff). They are paid according to need. I John 3:17; Acts 4:34, 35 – Abundant Sharing (ABS), that you’re supposed to do, is a measurement of the love of God that you have in your heart! It’s the “thermometer” of your heart. If you’re cold, you don’t share much! That’s how the needs of the ministry were supplied. II Corinthians 8:4-7b; 9:12 – “grace” is used for money or ABS in these
