SPIRITUAL GIFTS: MERCY

Our desire is that every Christ-follower is an active member of a local church and to know what spiritual gifts God has given them for building up the church and the common good. Once you have an idea of how God has gifted you with unique manifestations of the Spirit, use the following next-step guide to help you develop and deploy your gifts as good stewards of God’s varied grace.

MERCY

The gift of mercy is the divine enablement to feel genuine empathy and compassion for those who suffer distressing physical, mental, or emotional problems and to translate that compassion into cheerfully done deeds which reflect Christ’s love.

Romans 12:8; Mark 9:41; Acts 11:28-30, 16:33-34; Luke 10:25-37; Matthew 20:29-34, 25:34-40
