Mercy is not weakness. Mercy is obedience James 2:12-13 reminds us that the way we speak, act, judge, correct, respond, and treat others matters before God Scripture does not say mercy cancels truth. It says mercy triumphs over iudgment That means we do not get to use religion as a reason to be harsh, cold, cruel, prideful dismissive, or without compassion. God sees how people treat others He sees the words. He sees the motives He sees the judgment He sees the mercy or the lack of it A person can be "right" about a lot of things and still be wrong in spirit Let mercy triumphJames 2:12-13 NLT
