granthope<p>If we are to live under liberty, so are we to speak and act. Judgment is without mercy to those who keep the law but fail but in one part. Yet mercy triumphs over judgment.

Neither stands over the other, but one requires richness of faith.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/granthope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>granthope</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mercy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mercy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/judgment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>judgment</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/faith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>faith</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Jesus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jesus</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/liberty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>liberty</span></a></p>
