From our series on finding our identity in the Sermon on the Mount.
When we're proactive with God, He is proactive with us--and we see this in relationships. Matthew 7:12 says, "...do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the prophets." We can't follow this command by being inactive. Disciples ask not what they have to do. They ask, "What can I do?"
