BLESSED IS A SOUL CONDITION
Mercy - Not giving someone what they deserve.
God had mercy on us by not giving us what we deserve, and that is death.
“We’ve become great judges of other’s sin but great lawyers of our own” (Chris Hodges)
2 Ways to be merciful
1. Remind ourselves of how merciful God was to me
2. Remember, we will all face God one day
“To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable BECAUSE God has forgiven the inexcusable in me.” C.S. Lewis

1. WE ARE CALLED TO SHOW MERCY TO THOSE WHO LET US DOWN PERSONALLY
“Unfaithfulness is wrong, Revenge is worse. But the worst part of all is that without forgiveness, bitterness is all that is left.” Max Lucado
2. WE ARE CALLED TO SHOW MERCY TO THOSE WHO ARE FAR FROM GOD
“Jesus connected before He corrected! “
3. WE ARE CALLED TO SHOW MERCY TO OURSELVES
