"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." Gal.
6:2. To lift a load from off the shoulders of another is noble service. To
remove a burden from another's heart is truly Christlike. He who goes
through life bearing the burdens of others has found the easiest road; he
who goes through life refusing to aid others travels a road of hardest
toil.
"Abhor that which is evil." Rom. 12:9. God is holy; consequently he hates
that which is evil. When we admire the holiness of God, we loathe sin; if
sin has no horror to our soul, holiness has no beauty. To the extent we
love holiness, to that extent we hate sin. A good man of long ago said,
"If I could see the shame of sin on the one hand and the pain of hell on
the other, and must of necessity choose one, I would rather be thrust into
hell without sin than go to heaven with sin."
Sin is a hideous monster. Draw near to God if you would see sin's awful
hideousness. Unlike most other things, the farther you are away from sin
the more clearly you can see it as it really is.
"Cleave to that which is good." Rom.
