When sin or faults ensnare us, we need adjustment, a course correction. Notice that such a restoration comes from outside ourselves. Others must restore us when we are caught in a fault. Our privatized ideas about the Christian faith do not square with biblical Christianity. Christianity is a family religion. We live the faith dependent upon brothers and sisters.
