Lasting Love Extends Grace

“Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.” Ephesians 4:2 (NLT)

No relationship will survive without grace. You’ve got to cut people some slack! You need to learn to let things go.

The Bible says, “Love patiently accepts all things” (1 Corinthians 13:7 NCV). Biblical love covers a relationship and doesn’t keep a record of every mistake.

Why is grace essential to relationships?

Because we are all sinners. Two imperfect people will never create a perfect relationship.

The Bible says in Romans 3:10 that, “no one . . . always does what is right” (NCV). It’s never just one person’s fault. Both sides share responsibility. It takes two people to disagree!

We have to learn to extend grace to each other, because forgiveness is a two-way street. We cannot receive what we’re unwilling to give to other people.

You build strong relationships by treating other people the way God treats you. When you accept others as they are, looking past their faults for the sake of love, that’s extending grace.
