—Galatians 6:1-5
by: Nick Kersten.
Another important part of our lives together is the ties of community that we share as brothers and sisters in the Lord. Paul suggests that accountability is an important part of the community of the faith—as is cooperating to share with each other our burdens. Oftentimes we hide our issues from our brothers and sisters in Christ, because of pride or shame. Paul’s command here leaves no doubt that this tendency needs to be abolished and that we should bear with one another in love and provide support and correction in turn.
