About This Quote
The ability to receive grace is seen in the Lord’s Prayer. It says, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” This is the way God wants us to live. He desires for us to have mercy on one another, for our neighbor to have mercy on our neighbor, and for others to have mercy on us. We are all in this together, and the only way we can be good stewards of the grace given to us is by extending grace to others.
