Every saved person has a responsibility toward every other true believer, for “we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Therefore we are to “bear ... one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ,” remembering both to be “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints,” and to “rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep,” and to be “exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” This will cause us to seek after those “things wherewith one may edify another,” and to “look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” God’s Word tells us to “be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous.” We are to “observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.” We “have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.” Let us then be “forbearing one another in love,” not forgetting to “be ... kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
“Bear ye one another’s burdens,”
Our dear Lord says to His own;
It will make your heart more tender
Than living for self alone.
