Steadfast, Day 9

Be merciful. Read Jude chapter 1, focusing on verses 22-23.

Every single day we are surrounded by people who do not believe in Jesus Christ. Everywhere we go, we see people going about life without the hope that Jesus provides. Sometimes those people don’t act very nice. Why should we expect any different?

People who are lost and without Christ will act like people who are lost and without Christ. We are to have mercy on them, recognizing that they don’t know any better. Until they have Christ, they have no reason to be any better or do any better. They have no understanding of how to do those things.

We must have mercy. If we are not giving grace and having mercy to people who we are no better than they are. How can we show mercy to others who are lost and doubters today?
