What should be our attitude towards a brother who sins?
Answered in 1 source
We should approach a sinning brother with love and the intention to restore them.
When confronting a brother in sin, our attitude must be characterized by love, humility, and a desire for restoration. In Matthew 18:15, Jesus instructs us to go to our brother alone in order to address his fault. The emphasis here is not on condemnation but on gaining a brother back into the fold. Paul echoes this in Galatians 6:1 by advising us to restore him in a spirit of meekness, always considering our own vulnerabilities. This attitude is essential as it reflects the love and grace Christ has shown us. Instead of viewing the sinful brother as an enemy, we remind ourselves that he is still our brother in Christ, needing the same grace we ourselves rely on. The aim is to assist them in turning their focus back to Christ, thereby restoring them not only to us but, more importantly, to their relationship with God.
