Many people have described grace differently. In terms of God, in His mercy, He does not give us the punishment that we deserve. The servant has been called unmerciful because even though his debts have been rubbed off, he is not willing to forgive another servant who owed him an absolutely tine amount of money. This story is the idea behind mercy which teaches us how it is important to forgive others, because we have also been forgiven. Bible says that mercy is important because everyone needs forgiveness and compassion.

However, it will not be wrong to say that mercy is of great importance also because it is something which can join and bring everyone together despite several differences.

Mercy is an act of withholding punishment to those who deserve it and forgive them, mainly because of the idea that we have also been forgiven for something in our life. Mercy is a very deep concept and idea but starts with small acts of understanding each other and cultivating a habit of forgiving each other. Grace and mercy are two sides of a coin, and the coin is that of love. In other words, grace and mercy are just two components of love, or of giving love.
