Mark 12:31
Though we call this the Golden Rule, the Bible’s name for it is the Royal Law. Take a look at James 2:8. This is where we find James talking about how we should treat others. This law is the very heart of what it means to act like a Christian. To live out of keeping with it is to miss the very core of Jesus’s message. As he says here, these two laws are the foundation for all else.
Heavenly Father, you have given us a very clear call. We can see from these two laws the manner of persons we are supposed to be. Thank you for giving us such a summary that really gives us the whole thing in a nutshell. Though the rest is absolutely necessary and helpful to our lives, it helps us focus to have this straightforward statement. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
