Restoration

“My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth, and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.” James 5:19-20

Live and let live. But God’s will for Christians is not so permissive.

“Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2

This verse is used apart from its context to support the idea of helping others with their deep problems. However, the context requires more.
“Brethren, even if a man is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, lest you too be tempted.” Galatians 6:1

Christians are their brothers’ keepers. If a believer is habitually practicing sin, it is the responsibility of others to restore him - Gently.

The spiritual Christian walks in the Spirit and his life manifests Christlike character (Galatians 5:22-23). Only if you are spiritual are you equipped for the ministry of restoration.

Maybe you have seen someone bungle burden bearing.

Restoration is to be done gently and in humility - as Jesus Christ deals with us. And care must be taken to avoid stumbling into the same trap.

Prepare with prayers.
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.” James 5:16
