Bear ye one another's burdens
and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Cain asked, 'Am I my brother's keeper?'
The carnal christian will wonder the same thing.
It is no mistake that the Spirit placed hatred, murder,
and heresies in the same list of 'the works of the flesh'.
But he that is spiritual knows that he IS indeed his brothers keeper.
He knows that he is duty bound by the Word of God to seek their restoration.
"Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault,
ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;
considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted." Galatians 6:1
Bear ye one another's burdens
and so fulfill the law of Christ.
But some may say, 'I have tried and they will not hear it.'
Then you have delivered yourself from anyfurther obligation besides love.
If they refuse then forbear WITH them in love but
if they be divisive then you have no choice,
you are also bound by theWord, to walk AWAY.
They shall bear their own burden.
But consider yourself lest you are tempted to
respond in anger, wrath, or malice.
Bear ye one another's burdens
and so fulfill the law of Christ.
