The Purpose of Rebuke

Rebuking is Commanded
Has anyone ever called you on the carpet about your walk with God?  Have you done that with another believer?  We are supposed to.  Take a look at:

• Proverbs 9:8 – 9
• 2 Timothy 2:24 – 25
• Galatians 6:1

Why?
What is the consistent reason for rebuke in those passages?

• Learning
• Knowledge of the Truth
• Restoration

The purpose of rebuke is to help one another walk more closely with Christ.

It is Necessary for Our Walk...
I can pretty much guarantee that we all can walk more closely with Him.  So we probably need rebuke…
