“Can you explain the difference between mercy and grace? Why does it seem to be a taboo topic for many Christians?”

3. Mercy vs. Grace
Mercy – “forgiveness toward someone who deserves punishment”
Grace – “unmerited favor”
“an undeserved gift
“Mercy is God not punishing us for the sins we’ve committed, even though we deserve it. Grace is extending kindness and blessings to us even though we are unworthy.”
