You've heard of the Golden Rule. I have a new rule for you. I'll call it God's Golden Rule. Here it is:
God's Golden Rule:
God will treat you the way you treat others.
Jesus teaching God's Golden Rule:
Luke 6.37-38
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Matthew 6.14-15
"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."
Matthew 7.1-2
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Mark 4.24
And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you..."
Mark 11.35
"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”
So there they are, the two Golden Rules:
Treat others as you would like to be treated.
God will treat you the way you treat others.
