Are we fulfilling the law of Christ?

The law of Christ is the law of substitution and sacrifice.  In other words, Christ substituted himself for our sins and sacrificed himself for our salvation and redemption.  It says in Galatians 6:2 (NIV) 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.  Jesus said it a different way when he said in Luke 9:23-24 (NIV) "23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it."  So we as God's children are to fulfill the law of Christ.  Thus is should be a joy to be inconvenienced to help others as we are directed by the Holy Spirit.  In fact, it may even be necessary to suffer what we may want to help someone else.  This is the law of Christ.
