Today someone shared on how as christians, we would usually have this sense of need to help others.

And often, we are taken granted of (in a sense), and we end up hurt.

And he said that instead of providing our help (which may only be temporary relieve for the person, but the problem isn't exactly solved), we should offer restoration (giving the person what he/she truly needs - Jesus Christ). Because relieve only dampens the problem for a short while whilst restoration gets them to God, and solves the problem.
Galatians 6:1 - ''Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.''
BUT the problem is (there always is a problem) how do I know how to restore the person instead of merely providing temporary relieve? How do I know if my actions are relieving or restoring?
