Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding], forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave you. (Ephesians 4:32 AMP)
Then graciously forgive one another in the depths of Christ’s love.
Waiting on God is an active life based on confidence in his presence and promises, waiting on God is internal rest that results in courageous actions.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. (Colossians 3:12-13, ESV)
Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. (1 Peter 3:8, ESV)
Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, (2 Corinthians 2:10, ESV)
For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, (Matthew 6:14, ESV)

## Gospel of Grace
To Him who [always] loves us and who [has once for all] freed us [or washed us] from our sins by His own blood (His sacrificial death) – and formed us into a kingdom [as His subjects], priests to His God and Father-to Him be the glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (Revelation 1:5-6 AMP)
##### “to live a life transformed by the essential truths of the Gospel.” James Montgomery Boice
##### HOW
“By renewing of our minds,…by study of the life-giving and renewing Word of God…empowered by the Holy Spirit [so that] we will begin to take on something of the glorious luster of the Lord Jesus Christ and become increasingly like him.”

## Given the Grace of Jesus
whom God displayed publicly [before the eyes of the world] as a [life-giving] sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation (propitiation) by His blood [to be received] through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness [which demands punishment for sin], because in His forbearance [His deliberate restraint] He passed over the sins previously committed [before Jesus’ crucifixion]. (Romans 3:25 AMP)
But the Scripture has imprisoned everyone [everything-the entire world] under sin, so that [the inheritance, the blessing of salvation] which was promised through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe [in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s precious Son]. (Galatians 3:22 AMP)
For you [who are born-again have been reborn from above-spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified and] are all children of God [set apart for His purpose with full rights and privileges] through faith in Christ Jesus.
(Galatians 3:26 AMP)
For all of you who were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union with the Christ, the Anointed] have clothed yourselves with Christ [that is, you have taken on His characteristics and values]. (Galatians 3:27 AMP)

But now since you have been set free from sin and have become [willing] slaves to God, you have your benefit, resulting in sanctification [being made holy and set apart for God’s purpose], and the outcome [of this] is eternal life. (Romans 6:22 AMP)
Therefore, since we have been justified [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have peace with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). Through Him we also have access by faith into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] stand. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power].
(Romans 5:1-2 AMP)
and endurance, proven character (spiritual maturity); and proven character, hope and confident assurance [of eternal salvation]. Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
(Romans 5:4-5 AMP)
But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8 AMP)
Not only that, but we also rejoice in God [rejoicing in His love and perfection] through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received and enjoy our reconciliation [with God]. (Romans 5:1-11 AMP)

## Mercy For Others
Reveals my ongoing need for mercy, driving me to the of myself and into the arms of my merciful Savior.
Matthew 18:21 – 35; Jesus shows us in this parable two things about the heart / nature. One the heart behind Peter’s question and reveals our heart.
We need bountiful mercy ourselves to be Instruments of mercy.
Psalm 103, so helps us to see the attributes of God.
Love (1-18) despite or disobedience God is steadfast in his love for us.
Sovereignty (19-22) We have the inestimable privilege of bowing befoe the one whose realm is totality of all things. Bless the Lord, O my soul!.
Jesus Christ: His Lordship
You know the message which He sent to the sons of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all- you know the things that have taken place throughout Judea, starting in Galilee after the baptism preached by John- how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with great power; and He went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him. (Acts 10:36-38 AMP)
God saves every Christian the same way, he saves – we turn from sin and to Christ as he is offered in the gospel. Discrimination then is to play no part in the fellowship vof believers, we are one in Christ.

## Theology Without Love Is Bad Theology
But speaking the truth in love [in all things-both our speech and our lives expressing His truth], let us grow up in all things into Him [following His example] who is the Head-Christ. From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up in [unselfish] love.
(Ephesians 4:15-16 AMP)
“Truth not spoken in love ceases to be true because it ‘s bent and twisted by other human agendas.”
“because we need to understand truth in community with one another to compensate for our blindness and bias, and we need truth to define for us what kind of community we should live together.” – New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp
What better way to humbly be in community to know and understand what God has said in his Word!
Grace and Peace.

Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus-all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!
And he chose us to be his very own, joining us to himself even before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence.
For it was always in his perfect plan to adopt us as his delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that his tremendous love that cascades over us would glorify his grace-for the same love he has for his Beloved One, Jesus, he has for us. And this unfolding plan brings him great pleasure!
Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by his blood-the total cancellation of our sins-all because of the cascading riches of his grace. This superabundant grace is already powerfully working in us, releasing within us all forms of wisdom and practical understanding. And through the revelation of the Anointed One, he unveiled his secret desires to us-the hidden mystery of his long-range plan, which he was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time.
And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax-when God makes all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 1:3-10 TPT)

Timothy, you are God’s man, so run from all these errors. Instead, chase after true holiness, justice, faithfulness, love, hope, and tender humility. So fight with faith for the winner’s prize! Lay your hands upon eternal life, for this is your calling-celebrating in faith before the multitude of witnesses! So now, I instruct you before the God of resurrection life and before Jesus, the Anointed One, who demonstrated a beautiful testimony even before Pontius Pilate, that you follow this commission faithfully with a clear conscience and without blemish until the appearing of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah. Yes, God will make his appearing in his own divine timing, for he is the exalted God, the only powerful One, the King over every king, and the Lord of power! He alone is the immortal God, living in the unapproachable light of divine glory! No one has ever seen his fullness, nor can they, for all the glory and endless authority of the universe belong to him, forever and ever. Amen! (1 Timothy 6:11-16 TPT)
I am always thanking my God for you because he has given you such free and open access to his grace through your union with Jesus, the Messiah. In him you have been made extravagantly rich in every way. You have been endowed with a wealth of inspired utterance and the riches that come from your intimate knowledge of him. For the reality of the truth of Christ is seen among you and strengthened through your experience of him. So now you aren’t lacking any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the unveiling of the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. He will keep you steady and strong to the very end, making your character mature so that you will be found innocent on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is forever faithful and can be trusted to do this in you, for he has invited you to co-share the life of his Son, Jesus, the Anointed One, our King! (1 Corinthians 1:4-9 TPT)
