O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. (Psalm 36:10)
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. (1 John 2:29)

The challenge of growing through justice and mercy

Through our faith in Jesus Christ, God has declared us righteous before Him, despite our past sins and rebellions. This is an extraordinary manifestation of God's love, but it also requires us to recognize and appreciate His justice and disciplinary recipes for making us better. Our justification is not based on our own merits or good works, but on the obedience and justice of Jesus Christ. This should move us to practice justice and mercy towards others, as a response of gratitude for the salvation we have received by grace. The kingdom of God is founded on justice, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Read more...

Francisco Diaz S.: Recognizing our faults and repenting are essential to earning God's forgiveness. How often do we say, "If I were young again, I wouldn't have done this or that?"
