Galatians 6:2 ” Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the Law of Christ.”

To carry out the Law of Christ here, we must first know what it is.  James 2:8 tells us, “If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself,’ you are doing right.”  When we bear other’s burdens in a way we would want to be treated, we are fulfilling the royal law of King Jesus.  But what does this look like?  It’s done with compassion and love in a nonjudgmental way…listening attentively and always speaking the truth of God’s word.  It’s inspiring hope in places of sadness and always it’s done with integrity, and trustworthiness.

James 2:8 ” If you keep the royal law found in Scriptures, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’, you are doing right.”

To love your neighbor as yourself,  is an excellent example of unselfish love.  It’s a love that isn’t contrived, plays favorites, or is narrow-minded simply because the person don’t look or act like us.  Jesus Christ patterned this unselfish love for us… always looking on anyone He encountered with love and mercy.  And since the Lord has shown such great mercy towards us…how can we not show this same mercy to others?
