Life in Christ is not meant to be lived in isolation— Sharing in the Word, it’s about community, encouragement, and mutual support. One of the most practical and often overlooked ways we live this out is through sharing. Galatians 6:6 captures this principle in a simple but powerful way:
📖 “Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.”
At its core, Galatians 6:6 teaches that when we benefit spiritually from the teaching of God’s Word, we are called to give back materially or practically to those who labor in teaching. It’s not about obligation alone—it’s about gratitude and the recognition that spiritual growth is deeply valuable.
Paul’s instruction points us toward balance: while teachers give spiritually, students support physically. This creates a healthy, God-honoring cycle of encouragement.
It values God’s Word – Supporting those who teach demonstrates that the truth of Scripture is more important than material possessions.
It builds community – Sharing creates bonds of trust and mutual care within the body of Christ.
It reflects God’s generosity – Everything we have comes from God, and by sharing, we mirror His open-handed nature.
Support teachers and pastors – Whether through financial support, acts of service, or prayer, encourage those who faithfully teach God’s Word.
Share resources – If you’ve learned from someone’s Bible study, sermon, or teaching, consider blessing them with encouragement, hospitality, or generosity.
Cultivate gratitude – Instead of only receiving, look for opportunities to give back to those who pour into your spiritual life.
Galatians 6:6 reminds us that spiritual growth and material blessings are not separate—they work together. When we share with those who guide us in the Word, we honor God, strengthen His Church, and foster a culture of gratitude.
📖 “Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.”
✨ True discipleship means receiving with humility and giving with joy.
