Galatians 6: 1-10 Corps - 1983 - Part 2
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. 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. 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. 12-07-83 Galatians 6:1-10 Paul had his credentials, and the believers have their credentials also.
