The Bible says:

"Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load." (Gal 6:1-5)

As members of the same body of Christ, it is the duty of every believer to bear the burdens, especially the spiritual burdens of one another. However, we are not usually careful about two snares:

One, the temptation to feel superior and therefore do the good deed condescendingly and often nonchalantly.

Two, forgetting that we have our our filthy burden of sins.

Therefore, we are reminded that we must not only obey the Lord in doing good, but also to do it with grace and gentleness and respect, fully mindful that the object is also a joint-heir of our common heritage in Christ.

Further, while we sympathetically bear the loads (sins, infirmities, etc) of our brethren, we must responsibly continue to be fully aware of our own weaknesses too - and bear the load (repentance, humidity, holiness, etc), not ever imagining that we are yet perfected or superior to others.

Our sense of victory over sin should always be in ourselves alone and not by comparing ourselves with others who happen to be struggling in the area where we seem to have achieved victory. Remember the Pharisee praying in the temple comparing himself with the tax collector. In all these, know that despite your personal "victories", you only stand by grace, not your power.

It is well.
