So we urged Titus, since he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part. II Corinthians 8:6 NIV
Is there a difference between mercy and grace? Yes! When we don't get something we deserve, that is mercy. When we are given something we don't deserve, that is grace. Did we ever think of giving as an act of grace? Giving really is a grace gift according to Romans 12, and when we do it with a grace attitude it is always fulfilling.. Since it is impossible to always know who really deserves a gift, let's give anyway when we can, and make it an act of grace. This is what God was calling on Corinth to do for the saints in Judea. For a bonus, it has been shown that acts of grace usually end up in a return of grace to us
