       Bear in mind that when we give grace to others, in giving them mercy, it is a free gift—it’s something they don’t deserve. In the same way, though, we don’t deserve the grace and mercy we receive from God. So, whatever the case, whatever the situation, we are to love others. Back in Romans 13. Verse 11: “Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.” The call to action here is simple, and it is for us to take the Christian life seriously. Paul thought the end was coming in his time. How much more are we closer to it nowadays! Jesus could return at any moment and call us up to be with him forever in the Rapture.
