There has been some confusion about Grace, Mercy, Love and Forgiveness.
All four of these work together and Faith Won't work without Love.
Scripture says Grace is God's unmerited favor.
That means we don't deserve it or earned it but is given unto us.
GRACE....God GIVING us something we DO NOT Deserve.
MERCY.....God NOT giving us what we deserve.
In God's Mercy He does not punish us as we deserve.
Grace is favor shown or given to some one who does not deserve it.
Scripture commands us to Love even as God has Loved us.
One can't Love without Forgiveness and one can't forgive without love.
1Corinthians13:4-7
4 Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious norboils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rightsor its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful orresentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].
6 It does not rejoice at injustice andunrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
7 Love bears up under anything andeverything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].
How can Love do all this?
Because Love Forgives
Now we are Commanded to Love
Love Forgives
Sounds like something that may not be deserved.
Why Yes of course Grace.
Grace Also describes Everything God is to us.
You can say that Love - Mercy - Forgiveness is Packed inside of Grace.
Blessings
