Does God expect me to be merciful? - Mercy - TouchPoints
Micah 6:8No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Matthew 12:7“But you would not have condemned my innocent disciples if you knew the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’”
Matthew 18:33“‘Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’”
Jude 1:21-23Await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love. And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.
Yes, God expects us to show mercy. We must show mercy to others, just as God shows mercy to us.
