Grace leaves very little room for looking down our noses at people.
In Ephesians 2:1–3, Paul describes life apart from Christ as spiritual death. He includes himself among those who once lived in disobedience.
We all need God’s mercy. Remembering that should soften the way we speak about someone else’s struggles.
We can take sin seriously while remembering that we cannot rescue ourselves from it. Our hope rests in Jesus.
Before we turn someone’s failure into a conversation topic, let’s pray for them and consider how to respond with truth and compassion.
Where could gratitude for God’s mercy make you gentler today?
