The Law and the Prophets

"In everything therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, FOR THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS." (Matthew 7:12)

Week #6 Glassco Family Beach Trip Bible Memorization Challenge verse: "Kind words are like honey—sweet to the soul and healthy for the body." (Proverbs 16:24)

Because Team Ben's little boys love the sound of FOR THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS, they end every verse with that phrase.

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right, FOR THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS." (Eph. 6:1)

"For I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength, FOR THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS." (Phil. 4:13)

"A hot-tempered person starts fights; a cool-tempered person stops them, FOR THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS." (Proverbs 15:18)

I love it! (I think God does, too.)

Beloved, are you obeying Deuteronomy 6:6-7 by diligently teaching God's word to your sons and daughters? FOR THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS!!
