The biblical answer to Cain's question 'Am I my brother's keeper?' is a resounding yes. In Galatians 6:1-5, Paul teaches that carrying one another's burdens is a fundamental Christian responsibility. This includes gently restoring those caught in sin and helping others through various struggles like illness, grief, and financial crises. While Jesus is our primary resource for our burdens, God often uses people to help people. Pride and comparison are the main obstacles that prevent us from carrying others' burdens. As Christians, we must balance carrying our own responsibilities while helping others with their heavy loads.

From Series: "One Another"

The "One Another" statements in Scripture call us to live out our faith not in isolation, but in deep, Christ-centered community. Commands like love one another, forgive one another, and bear with one another aren’t suggestions—they're the blueprint for how believers are meant to reflect Jesus in a watching world. In this series, we’ll explore these powerful imperatives and what they reveal about God’s vision for His Church. As we learn to put others before ourselves, healing, unity, and spiritual growth become possible—not just personally, but collectively, as the body of Christ.
