Mercy

Ephesians 2:4-5

New International Version (NIV)

⁴ But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, ⁵ made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions —it is by grace you have been saved.

There are no other words than “Love” and “Mercy” that can move your emotions from one point to another.

Know that our God is a merciful God! Do not believe the people who always claim that God is just a vengeful God and wants everybody to jump through hoops and go through trials to defeat them.

For all things that we have done or are continuing to do that we know are not what God says to do, we cannot turn around and point our fingers towards God and blame Him for things not going right in our lives…our experiences and circumstances are based on our choices and God gives us grace and mercy to keep us from self-destructing.

Thing is, that just because we have love, mercy and grace, that we can do whatever we want and just “pay” for it later. We have remember that we have mercy because we are not perfect, nor are we fast learners, so we are going to make mistakes here and there.

Mercy and grace won’t cover us if we blatantly sin and mess up on purpose, His love will remain.

His love and mercy is enough to clean us up and turn us from our wicked ways. We become a new creation in Christ and become what we were pre-destined to be.
