The Beatitudes - The Blessedness of Mercy

Takeaways:

1. Knowing we deserved justice, God extended us mercy in order to ultimately show us His love and draw us into salvation. 

2. Having accepted that salvation, mercy continually keeps us free from condemnation.

3. In response to Him being merciful to us, we are to be merciful to others, so they may be able to see the goodness of God and respond to His goodness.

4. By paying it forward, we bless God and others while God blesses us.
