Galatians 6:1
Dear brothers and sisters, if another Christian is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself.Falling into sin or making mistakes is not exclusive to the Christian experience. The difference between a Christian's sin and a non-Christian's mistake is that God can always gently guide the Christian back onto the right path because Christians are His children. JC Penny’s first business as a young boy was hogging, and when he sold his first hog and made a profit, he bought more hogs and made even more profit. The neighbors, however, began to complain about the smell and noise coming from the nearby pigpens. His dad told him to sell everything. Penny argued and rationalized, but his father kindly told him, “You have no right to make money if by so doing you are taking advantage of other people.” At that moment, Penny's father had gently taught him how to walk the path of success. This gentle approach would eventually became one of Penny's core business principles still fervent throughout his businesses today. Remember that by gently guiding someone onto the right path, you're living out a powerful Christian testimony.
