Key Verse

 “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2).

Text —Galatians 6:1-5

Message

Walter Scott decared that, “The race of mankind would perish did they cease to aid each other. We cannot exist without mutual help. All therefore that need aid have a right to ask it from their fellowmen; and no one who has the power of granting can refuse it without guilt.” Helping one another means bearing one another’s burdens.

As a hallmark of fulfilling the law of Christ, believers are admonished to exercise forbearance, compassion and support to those in pain, tribulation, infirmities and lack. 

Believers are not to engage in gossip, talebearing and the likes or express any form of self-importance that relegates help to those in need to the background. 

Paul here admonishes brethren to support and restore the weak, believers and those brought down by sin. This must be done in humility and sincerity and with awareness of the reckoning day where all work will be evaluated by the great Judge. Christ bore our greatest burden; we ought to reciprocate His love by helping the brethren that need help because by doing so we are pleasing God.
