Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice.

About This Quote

Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice. Fellowship is a place where mistakes are not criticized or castigated but rather the mistake is completely removed from the equation. In other words, it's a place of grace and forgiveness.

We all make mistakes, and we all need grace and forgiveness to get through life. When we build fellowship, we build the ability to forgive and be forgiven.
