Relationships In The Body Of Christ: Bear One Another’s Burdens

Galatians 6:1-5

1.  We Need To Bear One Another’s Burdens
   vs. 1 – If someone is caught in any trespass the goal is restoration
   Matthew 18:15, James 5:19-20
2.  The Reason To Bear One Another’s Burdens
   To fulfill the law of Christ – Matthew 22:37-39, Romans 13:8,10
3.  The Attitude To Bear One Another’s Burdens
   Stop comparing yourself to others
4. The Balance To Bear One Another’s Burdens
   vs. 2 Burden (Greek word means ‘load’) – Extra heavy physical, emotional or spiritual difficulties or problems
   vs. 5 Burden (Greek word means ‘capacity’) – Life’s routine obligations or responsibilities
   You can’t live someone else’s life

   Implications
   1.  Beware of the danger of self-reliance
   2.  Seek to detect the burdens of others and then devote yourself to making them lighter
