“Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Luke 6:31
Jesus spoke the words of the Golden Rule during the Sermon on the Mount. This truth is about expressing respect for all those who are in your life. The instruction from Jesus is to esteem others higher than yourself.
The ability to do this comes from the humility of God. You meet the Living Christ and see His greatness and glory and you become humbled over your sinful condition and insignificance compared to almighty God.
The spiritual man understands God is His helper and has no need to boast about self or attempt to build up His reputation among others. He knows his inner worth comes from God and this allows him to walk with meekness and kindness towards others.
The spiritual man does not try to get revenge when injured by others. He forgives and asks God for healing and restoration.
The spiritual man sees others through the eyes of Jesus. He takes a genuine interest in their life and his words and actions are guided by the Holy Spirit.
The love of God has a powerful effect on others. The Living Water pouring out of your heart has a tremendous influence on those around you. This is the life of Jesus and is expressed with motives of concern and caring for others.
The Cross causes you to die to self and live for Christ. This is the only way you can treat others like you want to be treated. Pride disappears and is replaced by humility.
The calling from God is to be a light touching those living in darkness!
