And have mercy on those who doubt.
Jude 20-23, But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.
There is a lot of condemnation from believers towards those who doubt, but little mercy. We who have received such amazing grace ought to be the first to recognize that we are in no position to cast the first stone. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We can intercede before the throne of grace for them, and come along side them as a friend. Are we praying for others to have their eyes and ears opened, that they may receive mercy in their time of need?
We pray for those who do not yet know You, that Your great mercy and amazing grace will extend to them, that they will receive You!
