There is a side to mercy that is not popular these days. It is merciful to show a brother his sin that he might repent, and it is mercy to warn a non-believer of their sinful nature that will take them to hell.
It is not mercy to ignore sin in anyone, thinking that our friendliness will cause them to like Jesus. God told us to speak truth, "in love", that love comes in many forms even harsh rebukes at times. I say this because the "harsh rebuke" is the most neglected today.
Titus 1:13 "This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;"
