Gal 6

Progressive sanctification is a lifetime process. Sometimes, we make progress but we caught in transgression. Don’t take sinning lightly because sin is the reason why Christ died on the cross. But remember Gal 6:8-9, “For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Every choice we make has a cumulative effect to our growing.

I think Paul talks about the teacher in v.6-8 (other subject, "us," is not found until v.9). Therefore, the one who sow flesh/spirit refers to the teachers! This is a big warning to myself. I can teach other because of my flesh or because of the glory of God. What is serving because of my flesh? See v.12-13. (1) The one who force others to circumcise is because of fearing of persecution v.12. (2) they boast v.13. In my situation I think #1 is likely, but I should be careful about #2.
