Carry Each Other's Burdens

For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see ANOTHER LAW at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. Romans 7:22-23

Paul calls it "another law" that is at work against us, within us.

Sometimes this law looks like fear. Sometimes sin. Sometimes doubt. Sometimes it looks like pride. You may see this law in the face of the downtrodden, the beggars, you know... you... me...

But Galatians 6:2 gives specific instructions as to how to live under a different law:

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

As followers of Christ we are to adhere to a different law than the one Paul wrote about.

While this "other law" is at work within us, as we daily make the decision to follow Christ, we fulfill his law in a very simple way. By carrying the burden's of others.
