He has repeatedly called us to action, but nowhere did He ever say that we should believe. Jesus’ Golden Rule was a call to lovingly treat others just as we would like to be treated. We have been encouraged to pray, to love God, to love others, and to trust God. We have been warned not to lust, not seek revenge, not love money, and not to be judgmental of others. We have been told that we should forgive those who offend us and seek to make peace with another who has been offended by us. Those who mourn over their sin, are gentle, hunger and thirst for righteousness, are merciful, are pure in heart, are peacemakers, and are persecuted for the sake of righteousness will some day live in heaven. He has told us that the poor in spirit, those who see themselves as spiritual beggars, will enter the kingdom of heaven. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has been describing the characteristics of those who believe in God and follow Him.
