Your dealings with your fellow man

Your dealings with your fellow man

Jesus said,

“So in everything, 

do to others 

what you would have them do to you, 

for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” 

                                                          Matthew 7:12

In the book of James we read,

"If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right."James 2:8.

Doing what is right toward others is one of the most important messages in the whole of Scripture. It is seen throughout the New and Old Testament, as well as in Jewish writings,

In the book of Leviticus we read,

“You shall not take vengeance of bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself : I am the Lord." Leviticus 19:18.

The Jewish scholar Hillel wrote,

“That which is hateful to you, 

do not do to your neighbour.” 

                                               Hillel

In the Talmud we read,

“When a man appears before the Throne of Judgment, the first question he is asked is not, “Have you believed in God?” Or “Have you prayed and observed the ritual?  “He is asked: “have you dealt honourably and faithfully in all your dealings with your fellow men?” The Talmud

Doing what is right toward others is one of the most important messages in the whole of Scripture.

So the question becomes are you doing to others what you would have them do to you?

Are you dealing honourably and faithfully in all your dealings with your fellow man?

Please think about it.
