Grace or Truth

I Have Questions

By Lee Renfro, April 27, 2025

How do we make sense of the Bible when it doesn’t make sense?



We can give grace and truth to others because Jesus gives it to us.



Giving Grace

Proverbs 19:11 Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.



When do we overlook an offense?

  • Was this act done unintentionally?
  • Was this an Isolated incident?
  • Was this insignificant?
  • Has it harmed others or the offender?
  • Did it harm the witness of the church?
  • Was this a matter of preference?
  • Was it overtly sinful?


Giving Truth

Matthew 18:15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.



Getting Grace and Truth

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.



  • Do you need to give more grace or more truth? With who?
  • There is more grace in God than sin in you.
  • Jesus loves you too much to let you remain in your sin.
