CHRISTIAN LIVING AT ITS BEST
LESSON TEXT-CaUtlana #:» • «:M.

»:». ♦
Life and professiorr must be in ac
cord. To follow Christ means more
than'embracing a creed, or following
a ritual; it calls for daily living of
the highest type.
Herein Christianity differs from
all other religions. It is a living
faith in a living Lord>-which pro-
' duces a living testimony. Such a life
is:
I. Spiritual (Gal. S;2^26).
The Christian receives his new life
through the ministering of the Holy
%>irit. Since that is true, “let us
also walk by the Spirit” (v. 25K Ev-
efy child of (3od (not Just a few. as
some suppose) is to Eve this kind of
spiritually fruitful Ufe.
The works of the flesh, horrible in
their wickedness and lust, are listed
in verses 19-21, and then by.striking
contrast we have the fnUt of the
Spirit in the life of the Christian.
Note the distinction: work is some
thing we produce; fruit is something
that grows.
Walking in the Spirit the Christian
finds in his life the inward graces
of love, Joy, and peace. These then
express themseives outwardly in
long suffering, kindness, goodness,
I faithfulness, meekness, and seE-con-
trol. The l^irit-Alled man is not
only a good man, he lives a good
Ufe.
n. Gentle (Gal. 6:1).
Chrlsttantity ls hbin^anh and un
forgiving toward one who has
sinned. Certainly there can be noth
ing but stem condemnation of con
tinued. flagrant, impenitent sinning.
But toward the one who has failed,
the winsome attitude of loving res-
toraUon should be the first reaction.
There is good reason for this, for
God is kind, and Christ would not
quench the smoking flax (Matt.
12:20). Then who are we, weak and
fallible human beings, to treat-an
erring brother with hardness?
ni. Kind. (Gal, 6.^5).
We are to help the brother in need,
lift his burden and bear it for him
(v. 2). At the same time do not go
around expecting anyone to bear
your burden (v. 5). Ask God for
grace and bear it yourseU. If your
brother helps you—good. If not, do
not be offended. Too many Chris-
tttnx flxpael OUfeis tb^elp^
Then there is the need for kind-
- ness in thinking nf oneself, and
neighbor. Pride is self-deception (v.
8>. It puts G06 against us (James
4:6). We will have no time or occa
sion to Judge o^r neighbor ii we
‘honestly“appraTse our own life (v.
4).
IV. Honorable (v. 6).
While the Christian will not be
seeking any glory or reward for
himself, he will always be honorable
in caring for those who serve him
in the gospel. Salvation is free, and
no true preacher or teacher of the
gospel would set a price on it. R\it

the necessities of life m’usl be pro^
vided, and it is the obligation of the
one who is served to “communi
cate” of that which he has to his
teaching brother.
It need hardly be said that if the
church had obeyed this and similar
admonitions found in many places
in Scripture, we should not have the
disgrace of an underpaid ministry,
of an understaffed church, and of
miMiojiaries waiting to go with no
money to send them.Xet us he hon
orable about this matter.
C^sjstenL(JS^ali 6:7., 8).
^ere Is an inexorable law which
brings only the harvest which is
planted. Too many Christiana are
trying to reap the fruit of spiritual
ity when they have sown only the
seed of indifference and worldline$s.
It can’t be done I
SeE will is always struggling
against God’s will in the life of the
Christian. Sowing to the flesh means
yielding to self. And the result? Cor
ruption. Yes, even in the life of a
ChriiAin. How much there is of
that, and how it hinders God’s work!
There is here the important truth
that the one who sows to the Spirit
reaps eternal life. That speaks of
salvation itseff, but it also speaks
of spiritual development.
VI. DiUgent (fiaL 6:9, 10).
It has been scffd' that we have
three classes in the church—work
ers, Jerkers and shirkers. The shirk
er does nothing. One wonders wjieth
er he is really saved, since there is
no sign of life. The worker Is the
one upon whom one can always de
pend. The Jerker is the one who
takes hold mightily, and then is gone
when you most ne^ him.
Christian living at its best calls
for consistent, persistent, diligent
application to the work of God—not
today, but. tomorrow, and tbs
next day, and the nextl
Note the .suggestion of special
thoughtfulness toward our fellow
Christians (v. 10). Some folk oper
ate on the opposite principle. Tliey
treat their fellow beUevers with a
little extra coldness—a special de
gree of •uq>iclon end criticiam. That
anreljr b not Christian living at its
best.
