Matthew 7:1-12
Seeking the Golden Rules

I. DEAL WITH OTHERS MERCIFULLY (v1-6)

JUDGE NOT without FIRST JUDGING MYSELF

We must FIRST SEE CLEARLY if we are to JUDGE CORRECTLY.

JUDGE NOT without FIRST JUDGING my OWN HEART.
JUDGE NOT without FIRST JUDGING to WANT to HELP.
JUDGE NOT without FIRST JUDGING WHAT is HOLY.

II. DO UNTO OTHERS GRACIOUSLY (v7-12)

We ASK to RECEIVE from God that He might use us to GIVE to OTHERS.
We SEEK to FIND from God that He might use us to FIND for OTHERS.
We KNOCK to HAVE OPENED by God that He might use us to HELP OTHERS discover the OPEN DOORS God has for THEM.
