Suffering alone is not how God has created us to live. He has created us and redeemed us through his Son Christ Jesus, so that we may live and love one another in God’s community in our union with Christ and with one another, and this includes carrying one another’s burdens and helping one another in need. God calls us to do this as he speaks to us in Gal. 6:2, “Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the laws of Christ.”

God calls us to do this as he speaks to us in Gal. 6:2, "Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the laws of Christ." 孤单地独自承受苦难不是上帝创造我们去过的生活。上帝借着祂的儿子耶稣基督创造和救赎我们，是要让我们在与基督的联合中彼此联合，在祂的国里彼此相爱，而这就包含了分担彼此的重担，在有需要时彼此相助。上帝在加拉太书 6:2 中呼召我们这么做：“你们要分担彼此的重担，这样就成全了基督的律法。”
我们大多数人从小就知道，生活里有很多不顺心的事情，有很多烦恼，有很多苦难。对于基督徒来说，很多人也有这种感悟：自从信主后，我的苦难不是减少了，而是增多了。有这种感悟是再正常不过的，因为事实的确如此。正如耶稣在约翰福音 16:33 中告诉我们的：“在世上你们有患难”，基督徒面对和经历的不只是这被罪污染的破碎世界里原本就有的许多“正常”苦难，还有更严重的来自撒旦的持续攻击（为的是动摇我们的信心，让我们远离神），以及来自我们被罪污染败坏的心所发出的无数罪的攻击。在世界、撒旦和我们自己的罪的三重影响下，基督徒的苦难自然是增多了，但从神的角度来看，这未必是一件坏事，因此，神在罗马书 5:3-5 中提醒和鼓励我们：“不仅如此，我们也以患难夸耀，因为我们知道患难生出忍耐， 忍耐生出品德，品德生出盼望， 而这盼望不使人羞愧，因为神的爱藉着所赐给我们的圣灵，已经倾注在我们的心里。”
