James 2:12-13
"So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed
no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment."
The Christian lives under the law of liberty, and it is by the law of liberty we will be judged. We as Christian's are not men whose lives are governed by the external pressure of a whole series of rules and regulations imposed on us from without. We are governed by the inner compulsion of love. We follow the right way, the way of love to God and love to men, not because any external law compels us to do so, but because the love of Christ within our heart makes us desire to do so.
My Friends, The Christian must always remember that only he who shows mercy will find mercy. This is a principle which runs through all Scripture. And James goes even further, for in the end he says that mercy triumphs over judgment; (v-13c). by that he means that in the day of judgment the man who has shown mercy will find that his mercy has even blotted out his own sin.
Amen!
