Presentation transcript:

 The golden rule is twice set forth in the gospels (Matt. 7:12; Luke 6:27-31).  In some respects the concept was not unknown before Christ.  “That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow.” (Hillel)  “Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself.” (Confucius)  Yet, these negative formulations cannot rival the positive statement of Jesus.

 One could heed the counsel of Hillel or Confucius by avoiding hurtful and harmful actions. One could satisfy the negative formulation by simply doing nothing.  The golden rule places a great responsibility upon Christians. We must actively do to others what we would have them do to us.

 It is a Fulfillment of the Law (Matt. 22:37-40; Rom. 13:8-10; Gal. 5:13-15)  It is Based on Love (1 Cor. 13:1-7; 1 John 3:16- 18; 2 Tim. 2:22)  It is Reasonable and Clear (Matt. 13:9-16; Acts 28:23-28; Rev. 2:7)

 Our Neighbors (Exod. 20:12-17; Luke 10:29-37; Gal. 6:10)  Our Brethren (Eph. 4:1-3, 29-32; Col. 3:12-14)  Our Family (Eph. 5:25-33; 6:1-4; Col. 3:18-21)  The Lost (Gal. 6:1-2; 2 Tim. 2:1-2; James 5:19-20)  Our Enemies (Matt. 5:43-48; Rom. 12:18-21)

 Christianity is a religion of life. We must treat all men as we would like to be treated.  However, full application of the golden rule is hopelessly beyond our reach until we become disciples of Christ.  To fully obey this command, we must be born again (Gal. 2:20; Rom. 12:1-2; 1 Pet. 1:22-25).
