Be Kind and Good to Each Other

(Let love lead you, not rules)

Bible verses

Galatians 6:1-10

Introduction

Wrong teachers have confused the new Christians in Galatia. Paul wants them to know what is right and true.

Paul has written that the Christians in Galatia are not under the old rules because of Christ. But they should not do what they want.
Instead they must allow love to be their guide.

Now Paul writes more about this. He wants the Galatians to understand. So he uses many examples.
These examples explain how they should live.

Something to do

Maybe someone has told you that you have done something wrong. Think about what happened next.

Talk about how can we help other people to ‘carry heavy things’.
Think of some examples of this.

Sometimes we compare our actions with what other people do.
Think about this. Think about what we might do instead.
