✍️ Key Points:

God’s grace, mercy, and peace are freely given through Jesus—and they are with us now.

Walking in truth means living in alignment with God’s Word, not just knowing it.

Real love shows up in obedience and action, not just emotion or words.

We must guard against false teaching by holding fast to Christ’s truth.

Grace, mercy, and peace are gifts that shape how we speak, forgive, and live.

Mercy is not receiving what we do deserve (like not getting a speeding ticket).

Grace is receiving what we don’t deserve (instead of a ticket, the cop buys you donuts).

Peace is resting in what Christ has done. It’s being made right with God… complete wholeness, restoration, harmony, well-being. Shalom.

Mercy comes running… it is God’s compassion coming toward us.

Grace is how we are saved, not something we can work for or earn.

Peace is a position, not a feeling. Peace with God, not just peace of mind.

Grace, mercy, and peace are all given–none of them are earned.
