TOPIC: THE LAW OF CHRIST
TEXT: GALATIANS 6:2
Top of the day to you, the God of all grace will establish your heart with grace to fulfill the law of Christ in Jesus' name.
"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."
Beloved, to bear one another’s burdens may be considered as an instruction meant to teach us to exercise forbearance and compassion towards one another. In the case of those weaknesses, follies, and infirmities, which too often attend us-that, though we should not wholly connive at them, yet we should not be severed against one another on account of them or as a more general precept, and so it directs us to sympathize with one another under the various trials and troubles that we may meet with. In order to be ready to afford each other the comfort and godly counsel, the help and assistance, which our circumstances may require.
To excite us further, Apostle Paul adds by way of motivation, that so we shall fulfil the law of Christ Jesus.
To fulfil this law is not by mere keeping, and observing rules of do's and don't. This is to act agreeably to the law of His precept, which is the law of love, and obliges us to a mutual forbearance and forgiveness, to sympathize with and have compassion towards each other. This would also be agreeable to His pattern and example of His character, conduct and conversations, which have the force of a law to us.
He bears with us under our weaknesses and follies He is touched with a fellow-feeling of our infirmities and therefore there is good reason why we should maintain the same temper towards one another.
Friend, as Christians we are freed from the law of Moses, yet we are under the law of Grace (Christ). Therefore, instead of laying unnecessary burdens upon others (as those who urged the observance of Moses’ law did). It much more becomes expedient to fulfil the law of Christ by bearing one another’s burdens.
The apostle being aware how great a hindrance pride would be to the mutual condescension and sympathy which he had been recommending, and that a conceit of ourselves would dispose us to censure and condemn our brethren. Instead of bearing with their infirmities and endeavouring to restore them unto grace when overtaken with a fault or certain weaknesses.
Take few seconds to think deeply if you're truly fulfilling the law of Christ indeed and take position.
Enjoy your day!
Personal Confession: l receive grace to bear the burden of others in order to fulfil the law of Christ in Jesus' name.
