Keep in Step with the Spirit, Part 6
In 5:25, Paul issues a general exhortation to believers to keep in step with the Spirit. Then, in 5:26-6:10, he gives two evidences of what it looks like to keep in step with the Spirit. Specifically, Paul applies gentleness and goodness (fruit of the Spirit, vv. 22-23) and shows how they work out practically in the life of the church. These two evidences elaborate on what it looks like in daily life to love one’s neighbor (i.e., fulfill the law, 5:14). The first evidence is seen in how believers treat fellow believers who have become entrapped in sin. Paul exhorts believers to keep in step with the Spirit in order to restore sinning believers (5:26-6:5). The second evidence in which Paul reveals what it looks like to keep in step with the Spirit is seen in how believer use their money (6:6-10). Specifically, in 6:6-10, Paul exhorts believers to generously use their money in three areas. First, in v. 6, Paul exhorts believers to generously support those who teach the gospel. Second, Paul exhorts believers to generously sow to the Spirit rather than the flesh (vv. 7-9). Having begun with generosity toward teachers of the gospel, in v. 10 Paul expands the believer’s circle of responsibility to a third are where the Holy Spirit leads believers to express generosity in the use of their money. In v. 10, Paul exhorts believers give to all men but especially Christians.
