God Quote-Golden Rule

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in Matthew 7:12.

Jesus said, “So in everything, do to others what you have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”

This statement is called “the Golden Rule.” This is a good rule to apply to our relationships on a daily basis.

This is a way of putting ourselves in someone else’s shoes. “If I was in their situation, how would I want to be treated? Go and do likewise!” This shapes our mindset to consider how to treat others with respect in a way that addresses their needs. Philippians 2:3 says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others.” This is how we can express the mindset of Jesus in our relationships with one another.

Matthew 7:12-That’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for life.
