Jesus is described in scripture as coming “full of grace and truth,” yet the tension we face often face is to lean into one or the other rather than bond them together. We need a full measure of grace and a full measure of truth- not just half of each, and not just one or the other. When we base our decisions and our responses more on our feelings rather than God’s word and the example modeled by Jesus, we often find ourselves sinning so that grace may increase, or living like Pharisees, full of the truth but lacking God’s heart. Both end up keeping us in a vicious cycle of sin. But full grace and full truth lead us to full freedom in Christ. When your feelings meet the God full of full grace and truth, they can lead you back to the promise of freedom that is found in Christ, no matter what you face.
Know: We need a full measure of grace and a full measure of truth, not just half of each, and not just one or the other.
Feel: Full grace and full truth leads to full freedom in Christ.
Do: Speak the grace and truth of God’s word into your circumstances and feelings.
