"Bear (endure, carry) one another's burdens and troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ (the Messiah) and complete what is lacking [in your obedience to it]." (Galatians 6:2 AMPC)
We have a responsibility to bear, endure and carry other people's burdens. We must bear with them especially in the area of their troublesome moral faults. The truth is, we also have some attitudes that are annoying to others, but unfortunately the enemy makes us to excuse them. He also helps us to focus on and possibly magnify other people's faults.
The laws of Christ are the instructions He gave in the new testament. When we bear other's burden, we are obeying Christ. He commanded us to do unto others as we expect them to do unto us. We expect others to bear with us in our deficiencies, but demand perfection in their character. This is contrary to Christ's teaching.
We must also pay attention to what is preventing our obedience from being complete.
ACTION PLAN: We must deliberately desist from criticism and focus on helping others know Christ and grow in Him.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to judge myself each day and reveal to me areas I need to bear people's burden.
