The Golden Rule
Matthew 7:12

Intro:

The world often strays away from Biblical principles. This seems to be especially true in the way we treat each other. The world’s motto is “do unto others before they do unto you.” Simply put, this says to get in the first punch.

This motto comes from a Biblical principle that has been twisted and perverted. The Bible teaches us to “do unto others as we would have them do unto us.”

So, how do I want others to treat me?

FOUR AREAS that we should “do unto others as we would have them do unto us.”

Love

Matthew 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love they neighbor as thyself.Neighbor by virtue of
A. Humanity
B. Interaction
C. Faith

ForgivnessLuke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.A. Sometimes people are clueless
B. Sometimes people are blind to the truth

HelpGalatians 6:22 Bear ye one another’s burden, and so fulfill the law of Christ.A. Listening ear
B. Helping hand
C. Praying heart

PrayerJames 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.A. This involves confession
B. This involves others

Conclusion:

If we hope to reach the lost and reclaim those who have dropped out of church, we must live out this sermon daily. We must get serious about how we live.
