Jesus' 10 Rules for Getting Along With Others

I am loving reading about Jesus' visit to Ancient America.  This time around, I have found it interesting that many of the things He tells them in His visit deal with practical information about getting along with others.  ( I know, this is all in the New Testament, too.  I seem to read it more often in the Book of Mormon.)

Jesus' 10 Rules for Getting Along With Others

These are found in 3rd Nephi 11-14.

1. Keep in mind that contention is of the devil. 

2. Peacemakers will be called the children of God. 

3. Be reconciled with your brother before coming to Jesus with full purpose of heart.

4.  Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you.

5.  The merciful obtain mercy.

6.  Forgive others so that your Father in Heaven will forgive you.

7.  Judge not, that ye be not judged.

8.  with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

9.  The mote and the beam- Get rid of your own sins and weaknesses before you point out the sins and weaknesses of others.

10.  Treat people the way you would want to be treated.
