Ep. 1118: How Merciful Am I?

As Christians, we often talk about the necessity of forgiveness.  We need to be forgiven and to forgive others.  When it comes to talking about mercy, we always seem to focus on God’s mercy. Rightly so. God’s mercy is a resounding theme throughout the entire Bible.  His eternal wisdom and plan could not even exist unless His mercy was, is and will be in place.  So, if mercy is such an important part of God’s plan, and Jesus came and mercifully gave his life for Adam’s sin and redeemed the world, what about me?  How does mercy fit into my life?  Am I a merciful Christian?  What does mercy really mean, and how do I know how and when to use it?
