The principle of treating others as we would like to be treated, commonly known as the Golden Rule, is often attributed to believers in a religious context. However, there are individuals who, despite being self-righteous, advocate for this moral principle to be adopted by all. Interestingly, this principle was originally taught by Christ Himself in His sermon on the mount. It is a concept that can only be fully embraced and practiced by believers, as we have the indwelling life of Christ within us. On the contrary, those who are not saved tend to interpret this principle based on a reciprocal exchange, measuring what they receive from others before responding in kind. They fail to grasp the concept of selfless giving without expecting anything in return. Christ intended this principle to guide all our relationships, emphasizing that since He is the owner of everything, we have nothing to claim as our own. Therefore, we give generously as a means to bring glory to Him. When we give with a heart that trusts in Him, we experience His pleasure more profoundly than if we were to be stingy. This is why He emphasized the need for self-denial, as it is a response from a heart that is fully convinced of Christ's ability to empower us to give in such a manner. Our inner spiritual life holds greater significance than our material possessions. When Christ instructs us to give even when it hurts, we obediently comply because He is the ultimate owner and master of all. Our acts of giving extend beyond monetary contributions; we also offer ourselves in service to others. This commitment to ministering to others may appear foolish to the world, as we invest significant time in treating others as we would like to be treated. Ultimately, it is a practice rooted in self-denial.
