—Romans 2:1-11

When we remember God’s goodness and mercy, it should lead us to repentance. This acknowledgement of our need for forgiveness also helps us to extend grace to those around us who might offend or wrong us. This is the pattern established by Jesus’ sacrifice and God’s love. By focusing on the gospel, we can realign our thinking and get back in the pattern of giving God glory by loving others as He loves us. If we remember our own weakness and need for forgiveness, we can more easily forgive others because we are reminded of the fact that we all need God’s grace.
