An excerpt from “Crosswalk.com” entitled, “Why Christians Are Told To Bear With One Another In Love?” by David Hawkins, states: “God blesses us when we are obedient. He has instructed us to bear with one another’s weaknesses, to be tolerant of those less fortunate or hurting. We are to help those who need our help and certainly tolerance is something all want and need. Show kindness and tolerance to others and notice their appreciation of you as well as the outpouring of blessings from God.” The article may be viewed at: "Bear with One Another in Love" - Bible Meaning for Christians (crosswalk.com) [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Ephesians 4:2]
Application: “We are each responsible before God for the gifts and resources He has entrusted to us (Romans 14:12; 2 Corinthians 5:10). We cannot blame others, shift responsibility, or make excuses about why we were unfaithful with the assignments we’ve been given—we must bear our own loads. But there are also times when life threatens to overwhelm. A spouse dies. A child is injured. A job folds or a house burns down. As part of the family of God, we are to come to the aid of our brothers and sisters in need (Philippians 2:3–4). When a load suddenly becomes too heavy for one person, we are to bear one another’s burdens. The added strength and encouragement of others is often the difference between pressing on and giving up.” [Source: “GotQuestions.org”] The article may be viewed at: What does it mean to bear one another’s burdens? | GotQuestions.org
