Treat others with the same kindness and fairness you would like to receive.*

 "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets,” commanded Jesus Christ from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:12, Luke 6:31).

This command is known as the Golden Rule and it exists in two primary forms:* 

Positive Form (Directive): "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This encourages active kindness and good deeds.

Negative Form (Prohibitive): "What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others." This form emphasizes refraining from causing harm. 

Jesus's teaching emphasizes the positive, active form, encouraging believers to actively seek the good of others, not just avoid doing harm.*

Warning:

What happens when we fail to obey Jesus Christ's commandments, especially to love thy neighbor in fellowship (Matthew 22:39 and Mark 12:31)?

 "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows" (Galatians 6:7). 

"If you love me, you will keep my commandments" (John 14:15).   

Jesus makes a direct link between love for Him and obedience to His commands. Failure to obey, in this context, demonstrates a lack of genuine love and commitment.* 

 "Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience" (Hebrews 4:11).
