The Bible reads in (Galatians 6:2); “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ”. Often people take the verses in the bible literally – but, there are requirements to complete when dealing with real the faith and righteousness in God. It is imperative to know that, not everyone, at any given situation, can use the holy name of the Lord, or His words – as it is written in 1 Peter 1:16; “Be holy, Because I am holy”. It reads as well in Exodus 20:7; “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name”. In short, unless we are faithful and obedient in His words, we cannot use the name of the Lord with authority – especially for healing and deliverance. On the other hand, anyone could use His Holy name anytime, anywhere – but remember, the outcome may not be from the Lord, since the Bible declares that Satan can act like an angel of light, a great imposter of all time – to deceive unsuspecting victims.

According to the bible, it is obligatory for the saints of the Lord to rebuke and correct with authority when their fellow believers stumble – and the Bible further says, it should be done with care and much gentleness, or else Satan may trick you down in the whole process. Besides, how we can carry the burdens of our fellow believers – when we are not qualified, with regards to the true faith and righteousness? The Bible comments that, the ones who live by the spirit shall restore those who are in troubles or in sins – as it is written in Galatians 6:1; “Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted”.

In truth, to be able to fulfill the law of Christ, it is essential that every saint of the Lord should live pure and in true Spirit. And the wisdom of the Lord will be evident in them, to the point of judging others – not to humiliate but to correct and guide in righteousness. In addition, the bible says that all true believers are invited to the Royal Priesthood of Jesus (1 Peter 2:9) to perform and fulfill the divine law of Christ. Therefore, be bold and proud being a child of God, with much humility and love, to carry and share the burdens of our fellow believers, with a helpful and thoughtful mind accompanied with appropriate deeds in faith. Amen
