Growing in Mercy, Grace, and Truth

As we reflect on Jude's closing remarks, we're reminded of the importance of mercy, grace, and truth in our spiritual journey. Our growth in holiness is a testament to the grace we've received and a call to extend that grace to others. By building ourselves up in the faith, praying in the Spirit, and keeping ourselves in God's love, we are equipped to show mercy and grace with discernment and truth.

Let us strive to embody the balance of grace and truth in our interactions, especially with those who may be doubting or ensnared by false teachings. Our mission is to reflect the love and holiness of Jesus, inviting others into a transformative relationship with Him.

Scripture: 
2 Peter 3:17-18 -Therefore, dear friends, since you know this in advance, be on your guard, so that you are not led away by the error of lawless people and fall from your own stability. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Reflection Questions
How can you better balance grace and truth in your efforts to contend for the faith?
In what ways can you grow in mercy towards those who differ from you in belief or behavior?

Closing Prayer
God our Savior, empower us to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. May our lives glorify You, as we extend mercy, grace, and truth to all. Amen.
