In the story of the woman caught in adultery, we encounter the loving visible face of God’s mercy in Jesus Christ. This changes our image and concepts of God in Christianity from a God who seeks to destroy or punish us for our sins to a God who hates our sins but loves and cherishes us poor sinners.
One of the beauties of our Christian faith is the mercy of God that always finds us wretched sinners when we are lost. God’s mercy finds and reaches us profoundly more than we can ever imagine. The nature and essence of God is mercy. This mercy is the saving and amazing grace that always finds and saves us even when we are spiritually dead, lost or weak.
To be a Christian implies living out in concrete actions the profession or confession of faith. It is in leading an exemplary life. It is by popular datum, “action speaks louder than the word”.
