Day 4: The Golden Rule and Kingdom Living
Thursday, June 5, 2025
Reading: Matthew 7:12, Galatians 5:13-14
Jesus summarizes the law and the prophets with the Golden Rule: "Do to others what you would have them do to you." This positive framing calls us to proactive love, not just avoiding harm. It's a reflection of God's own character and how He has treated us in Christ.
Consider how this principle might change your interactions if fully embraced. How can you go beyond mere politeness to truly seeking the good of others? This is the heart of kingdom living – reflecting God's love to a watching world.
Choose one person today and intentionally go out of your way to treat them as you would want to be treated. Look for opportunities to show unexpected kindness.
