This is revealed in the law and the prophets when interpreted in light of how Jesus fulfilled the law. Through the work of Christ we have been given access to mercy. Romans 8:2 states that “through Christ Jesus the law of the spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death”. The mercy of God supersedes the principle of sowing and reaping. Two key points about God’s mercy are: 1) The more aware we become of the holiness of God, the more we recognize our desperate need for His mercy. 2) The more we understand God’s heart toward sinful man the more we love mercy - both receiving it for ourselves and extending it to others.

This change will require the exercise of faith on our part, as change brings things to the surface that are not always pleasant.

Telling someone the story of your relationship with Jesus, or talking about what God has done for you, or even something that you saw God do. These are "God stories," and are the foundation of effectively sharing your faith in an easy, non-confrontational style. People are interested in real stories, and they want to hear yours.

We all have an important effect on the people the surround us. Often we fail to appreciate how significant that influence is, and more so, how significant it can be, but the effect is there, none the less. As Christians we need to display the compassion that God has for all, and there is no better way to do this than loving others in actions and words. It is true that we preach the kingdom by proclaiming, modeling and loving, but loving is the most effective way to influence your community today.

In truth, we need grace to have relationship, fix our failures, or heal our sin sick souls. Without the hope that grace provides, we will fall and never get up. With grace, we still may fail, but we will not quit. Grace is what we need to reach the lost, and to truly help people at all.

In the beginning of the New Testament church what attracted the crowds were the miracles. In the Gospels it was the same thing. Jesus performed miracles and people came to get healed.
