We Belong To One Body Of Christ

  Galatians 6:2 "Carry one another’s burdens and in this way you will fulfill the requirements of the law of Christ [that is, the law of Christian love]." 

In verse 1 Paul, told Galatians that when one is caught by sin, others should step in to help restore that person to walking by the SPIRIT again. Now he tells them, to help carry each other's burdens. Take note that being in CHRIST does not mean we won't have burdens to carry in this earthly life. We will. One of those burdens is the weightiness of our temptation to give into sin, and the heaviness of trying to get out of it. Paul wanted us to share that burden and not battle sin and temptation on our own.

Christians do not only battle with sin and temptation but they also carry other burdens, as well, and sometimes they go through seasons where those burdens are too much to carry alone. Such burdens might include relationship issues, financial problems, illness, indecision, or emotional difficulties. GOD'S SPIRIT certainly gives us the power to deal with these issues, but another way GOD intends to provide for those in CHRIST is by giving us the ability to help each other.

 The beauty of the faith community is that we share the burden. Never hide your burdens to Brethren. Don't ever make a mistake to think that being a Christian means we should be self-reliant in every way, all the time. We belong to one Body of CHRIST, what affects one affects the other. Being members of one Body means Christians are meant to help each other with the loads we carry when they become overwhelming. 

Blessings and Shalom
