Balancing Truth and Grace Like Jesus

So I’ve been diving into the idea of Truth and Grace as it pertains to us and how we may identify with one or the other. Let me explain. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”John 1:14 So truth is about reality regardless of the pain. And Grace is about second chances and letting things slide. Jesus was both of these. You see, the truth is I am a sinner and deserve an eternity in hell but because of His grace I am forgiven and allowed to have a close and personal relationship with Him...and the promise of eternity. I dig! But it is important for us to understand which side of truth and grace we lean towards. For me,I’m pretty much a “truth guy” and I struggle with finding grace. Eventually I think I do, but my initial reactions are generally not “Grace” based. I need to work on that. On the other hand, many of you are Grace to a fault. You try and understand a person who has bad beliefs. I think whatever you are, even if you’re a blend of both, we need to ask Jesus to help us be more like Him to those who are around us. Know the truth and show the Grace. Be Nice.
