Dozens of times in the New Testament, the Holy Spirit gives instructions to Christians regarding our relationship with and interaction with “one another” by using that pronoun “one another.” This is a reciprocal pronoun, wherein a person performs an action for, toward or on another person, while receiving that same action performed in return.
It is easy as humans to point the finger and identify all of the ways that others are not doing what they should be doing for us. While their inactivity can be disheartening, frustrating and even seem like a reason for inactivity on my part, God will not allow me to remain idle. The reciprocal pronoun instructs me to act, even if the other person is not acting, realizing that doing such will not only benefit the receiver, but it benefits me as the giver also.
One example: “Bear one another’s burdens” (Gal. 6:2). Don’t complain if no one is doing it for you. Get busy and get under the burdens of your brethren. You just might find your own burdens lifted in the process. God’s ways always work best!
