In a sense, yes. It is a required ingredient in becoming more like Christ.
But the great thing about the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12) is that it's really more than a rule. It's a way of life, something your heart loves to do. No rule by itself could really be so life-giving as this. That's another reason why in giving us the "Law of Love", God has actually set us free from the law. Because it's not just a rule, a boundary. It's loving loyalty.
And that's really more than any rule could ever produce.
