SECTION 4.6 ESV

When we remember how much grace God gives to us, we should want to show grace to others. God’s Word tells us to do good to everyone, especially those in our Christian family. Sometimes we may not feel like helping others, but the Holy Spirit can make us willing and strong to help others. MAIN IDEA ESV
