God Is Making Earth Look More Like Heaven
Have you ever heard of “The Golden Rule”? It’s actually from the Bible!
In Luke 6, Jesus instructs us on how to treat each other.
“Do to others as you would have them do to you….love your enemies, do good to them…without expecting to get anything back…and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”
All of God’s commands have the ultimate purpose of helping us love God and our fellow human beings. God’s vision is bigger than our individual relationship with Him. That’s essential, but it doesn’t end there.
He’s creating a new community, where people love one another sincerely, in word and in deed. Like a little glimpse of what Heaven will be like.
By obeying Him, and showing His love to others, you are joining with God to make Earth look a little more like Heaven.
“All of God’s commands have the ultimate purpose of helping us love God and our fellow human beings.”
Luke 6:31
“Do to others as you would like them to do to you.”
