Would a...?

Would a...?
James the half brother of Jesus wrote,
“Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,  because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!” James 2:12,13.
Here is are some simple questions.

  1. Do you show mercy to those around you?
  2. Do you show love to those of different faiths and lifestyles?
  3. Would a Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, be welcome as a guest in your church congregation?
  4. Would a gay couple be welcome?
  5. Would you be willing to listen to what a Muslim, Hindu or Buddhist believes?
  6. Would you be willing to listen to what a gay couple believes?

As you think about this answers to the above questions. If you truly believe you are a follower of Christ Jesus keep in mind the words of Jesus who said,
So in everything, do to others 
what you would have them do to you,
 for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” 
                                                                Matthew 7:12.
I firmly believe that the only way we can win souls for Christ is to show mercy toward them. To treat them the same way we would want to be treated. To love them and not judge them.
Please think about it.
