Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7)
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Matthew 9:13)

Helping the fallen

The author shares a story of a young woman who fell into sexual temptation and was abandoned by her Christian family. Instead of showing her love and support, they closed their doors on her. The author emphasizes that even after knowing the gospel, people can fall into sinful actions and treating them with love and mercy is essential to help them get back on their feet. Sometimes disciplinary action will be unavoidable, but it should always be generous and restorative while remaining firm. The author also shares a positive story of a young man who confessed to his parents and was shown love and support, which helped him rectify his life. The author encourages readers to show love and support to their brothers and sisters who fall. Read more...

Comments:

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : It's my duty to help the fallen Even more so if I am a Christian. My GOD don't let me forget to do it when the time comes, and don't forget that I can also fall and be hurt I love you my LORD, hallelujah, amen.
Miguel sibuyuj: You are absolutely right my beloved brother, thank you for this message, it gives a lot of help for our spiritual growth and to be able to help the fallen blessings....
Francisco Diaz S. Padre: Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.- No one dared and no one would dare this time.- It is not "falling down and beating the fallen" The mercy and love of God is in: helping the fallen, lifting them up, cure and restore it.- Magnificent message Pastor.
GustavoMartinez Afanador: The goal of the Lord is that we do not sin as children of God and it is a daily struggle with temptation, but because we are weak we can fall into temptation. That is not why we are going to condemn a brother in Christ because he failed or fell into sin, we have to restore his spiritual life, encourage him to continue on God's path and surround him with God's love. Blessings.
Francisco : It's sad, but it's a reality; no one undertakes to look for the one who has fallen, but if he criticizes him.!
