Why should Christians bear one another's burdens?

In Galatians 6:2, Paul instructs believers to bear one another's burdens, fulfilling the law of Christ. This is essential as it reflects our understanding of grace; having received mercy from God, we are to extend that same mercy to our fellow believers. By supporting one another in times of struggle or sin, we display Christ’s love and remind ourselves of our own mutual need for grace. It fosters unity within the body of Christ and encourages restoration, as we remember that none of us stand on our own merit, but solely by the grace of God.
