Do we understand mercy in light of judgment?

Scripture speaks seriously about judgment — but it also shows the greatness of God’s mercy.

Jesus said, “Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.” (John 5:24)

The contrast is clear: judgment is real, but in Christ there is life. Mercy is not God ignoring sin; it is God providing a way of salvation through his son. ✝️

From death to life. From judgment to mercy. Through Christ.

Scripture

What is forgiveness?

Forgiveness is most clearly seen in Jesus.

Even while suffering on the cross, He prayed for those responsible: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34) A Cuban prisoner followed this example: so humbling!

Biblical forgiveness does not pretend that wrong never happened. It chooses mercy instead of revenge and entrusts justice to God.

The cross shows us both the severity of sin and the greatness of grace. ✝️
