The fifth characteristic of Kingdom life is revealed in our merciful response toward others. This principle of the Kingdom is a direct result of our hungering and thirsting for righteousness. Righteousness is tested in our love and forgiveness of others. When we recognize how poor in spirit we once were, and how God is transforming us through grace, meekness, and righteousness, it is only natural to extend mercy to those who are still bound in their sinful patterns. Remember, grace and mercy are twin sisters and can never be separated. When we realize how much we have been forgiven, then we are free to extend mercy. For he who has been forgiven the most will love the most. |
