Sermon on the Mount: Golden Promise and Golden Rule

The guarantee of answered prayer is truly a golden promise. Doing to others what you would want them to do to you is also a golden rule. Like the two great commandments to love God and others, these two nuggets of gold first direct our attention to our God. Then they direct our attention to others. The order is crucial. First, I talk to God about His good gifts. Then, one of these good gifts is the supernatural ability to live out the golden rule.
