The Nature of Forgiveness is Mercy

Offering forgiveness to others is one of the most difficult and important aspects of the Christian life. But Scripture clearly commands us to forgive others. This week, we’re going to look at how God longs to fashion us into his likeness that we might model the love we’ve been shown to a world with no concept of mercy. May you be filled with courage and boldness this week to offer forgiveness to those in desperate need of grace. And may God’s love shine through as you enter into your calling as a minister of reconciliation. Our Scripture for today comes from Luke 6:36-37 , and today's worship is Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me by CityAlight. -- From now until August 26th we are offering a bundle of two printed First15 devotionals: Grace + Grow for your donation of $40 or more .
