How well do you know the gospel?
“The gospel is _________________.”

The way you relate to other people indicates WHICH LAW YOU ARE LIVING UNDER.

Why should I show mercy to someone who really doesn’t deserve it?James 2:12-13

I DON’T DESERVE IT EITHER.
AND WHAT IF I DON’T??? James 2:13

“Judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful.”
Am I really supposed to show mercy to the unmerciful?

They’re the ones who need it the most.
God has promised to BRING JUSTICE where needed.

Next Steps

Make sure my faith is genuinely in Jesus, not my own efforts at righteousness.
Examine my responses to people inside and outside of my family. Am I granting mercy to others in proportion to the mercy God has given me?
Read “Gentle & Lowly” by Dane Ortlund to gain a better understanding of Jesus’ heart for sinners and sufferers, because God has called me to reflect the same kind of heart toward the sinners & sufferers I know.
Read “Les Miserables” to see a beautiful picture of how “mercy triumphs over judgment”.
