Today's promise: God is merciful to us
Do you demonstrate God's mercy to other people?
But you, dear friends, must continue to build your lives on the foundation of
your holy faith. And continue to pray as you are directed by the Holy Spirit.
Live in such a way that God's love can bless you as you wait for the eternal
life that our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy is going to give you. Show
mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Rescue others by snatching them
from the flames of judgment. There are still others to whom you need to show
mercy, but be careful that you aren't contaminated by their sins.
Micah 6:8 NLT
Titus 1:20:23 NLT
Micah 6:8 NLT
Show mercy
Christians have sometimes been accused of shooting
their own wounded. In our zeal for God, we can sometimes become impatient and
judgmental with those who struggle with sin and doubt. Instead of rejecting
them, Jude says, we should have mercy on them — just as Christ had mercy on us
when he forgave our many sins. While we must not tolerate or accept sin, we are
to love and accept others with kindness and mercy. If you know someone who has
fallen away from God, your kindness may be just what is needed to lead them back
to God.
