As a Christian, we need to identify with and show mercy to others in their suffering and need. Mercy is grace in action…or grace applied. That mercy is a reflection of our Christian character. Those who show mercy will receive mercy – it doesn’t mean we can earn mercy for salvation though. Salvation is only through the blood of the Lamb, that we can be forgiven of our numberless sins and be clothed in Christ's righteousness - and live godly in Him. There is mercy in forgiveness. Beloved, let’s show mercy because God already showed us mercy in Christ. We don’t deserve anything from God – yet in His mercy He withheld the punishment that we justly deserve and in His grace He gave His son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Matthew 5:7 ~ Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
