Do you "get" the grace? One way to know is to look at the judgments you make of others:
"So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment." James 2:12-13
"Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you." Luke 6:37-38
Do you find in your heart a consistent lack of mercy in your judgments of others? Do you always assume the worst possible motives in others? When we see this in our hearts we need to pray and ask God to rock our hearts with the Gospel again.
