I have heard this my whole life. It's an easy way to remember the difference between right and wrong. For some people, it's literally what their faith is based around.
Although I have not always necessarily always followed those rules, it's because I feel like I have an actual relationship and I know where I stand with Jesus. I don't need to think about things I do by filtering them through that sentence. That's all that is; a sentence. Not a "Christ-like mindset."
Some people live their lives by book. That's awesome. Good for them. I can't do it.
Some people live their lives doing the best they can. I feel like I fit into that category most of the time.
Some people live their lives by that damn sentence. That's not love, nor Christ-likeness. God is not involved in that sentence no matter how much it sounds like the "Christian way of thinking." They don't realize it, but God is not in the picture at all.
Oh well. I can't complain, I didn't vote.
