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.

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.
