Scandalous Grace - Part1

Have you ever noticed we quickly judge somebody else’s shortcomings while making all kinds of allowances when we make mistake. We love to judge as we make allowance for our own mistakes. Paul talks about the riches of grace that God lavished, but we strain that grace when we refuse to extend it to others, in order to for us to fully understand the meaning of grace and of mercy. Mercy is the attribute of God that causes Him not to give us what we deserve. We deserve punishment and God withheld it, that’s mercy. Grace is another attribute of God that causes Him to give us what we do not deserve. In reality we do not deserve His love but He gave it anyway that’s grace.
