The Weekly Devotional 👍😃👍: All these things are for your benefit. As grace increases to benefit more and more people, it will cause gratitude to increase, which results in God’s glory. (2 Corinthians 4:15 CEB) We in the church tend to forget to extend grace to others. True, we are to flee from sin ourselves but this does not give us the right to exclude people from the same grace that saves us. When we allow people in, despite their flaws, Paul tells us that their gratitude will increase which leads to Gods glory. This approach starts from the truth that God loves us and carries us into the types of life-change that God wants. If we start by telling people that they are sinners not only do we ignore the fact that we are in the same boat, but we limit the effectiveness of the gospel message with judgement we are not called to pass.
