Christ wants his followers to treat others with consideration and think about what would be good for them, as love involves thinking of others and their needs. Being considerate means thinking how we would want others to respond if we were in difficult situations like making bad decisions, believing false teachings, committing sin, or not doing good works, and being lost, in order to correct or help others in a loving way.

1. Be Considerate

2. Christ wants His Followers to Be Considerate To treat others the way we want to be treated (Matthew 7:12) Consideration is an act of love (1 Corinthians 13:4-5) It involves THINKING about what would be good for another person (Rom. 15:2-3)

3. What Would I Want Someone to Do to Me… If I were about to make a bad decision? (Proverbs 12:15; 19:20-21; 27:6) If I believed error or false teaching? (2 Timothy 2:24-26; Galatians 4:16) If I were committing sin? (Psalm 141:5; Hebrews 3:12-13; James 5:19-20) If I were not doing the good works that I’m capable of doing? (Heb. 10:24; Titus 3:8) If I were lost?
