Christ abrogates the Golden Rule by saying "Love others as I have loved you". How many can honestly claim that they love others the way Christ loves the world?
The fact is that only those who are in Christ can love as Christ loves the world. Everyone else is a fraud.
At the core of Christ's message is self denial/self sacrifice so once one denies themselves, there is no one else left other than Christ. As Paul says, "not me, but Christ in me". We only live in, with, and through Christ. Again, Paul puts it well when he says, "In him we live and move and have our being", or as Christ puts it, "Apart from me, you can do nothing".
