Galatians 5:16 tells us to walk in the Spirit; literally to trample and coming from the root word to sting…it has an effect to be sure! It’s a journey that has meaning and impacts our lives and the lives of others, it’s a way of life not simply an act but an action defining life.
When we live this life and walk in this way, we will not gratify or fulfill completely the lists of the flesh; we will not bring about the results of or the natural consequences of the flesh.
In Galatians 6:2 the writer tells us that we are to carry the burdens of others, that is to walk in or become part of the burdens of others. It also denotes the continual act of being part of the lives of others and in so doing we repeatedly, over and over, bring to completion the law of Christ. By caring for each other on a regular basis we are walking in the act of love that Christ has commanded.
Walking in the Spirit is likened to Walking in LOVE…we do this by caring for one another and carrying the burdens of one another on an one going manner. This is a way of life that is the fulfillment of the command of Christ to love one another…anything but this life is a life of the flesh that is counter to the calling we have been given by King Jesus.
