“But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, To such as keep His covenant,And to those who remember His commandments to do them.Psalm 103:17-18
God Almighty, the Father of Mercy and Grace, showers mercy on mankind. Mercy is not only a feeling, but it is also a power to carry out relief and acquire a state of joy and comfort.
MERCY- unconditionally given by God , withholding the judgment, destruction, punishment and condemnation we deserve, because of our sinfulness. The wages of sin is death. If JESUS has not paid this penalty for us, we may not be living here, as we are now.
GRACE is purely an unearned gift given to His children by our heavenly Father. Though we are all sinners, Grace has been provided for deliverance. God knows that the man He created would sin and be lawless.
The mercy of God, is a precious gem, which contains varied shine for each one of us.
- It is eternal and everlasting:
The mercy of God is from everlasting to everlasting on people who fear Him. Fear for the God Almighty should come from the heart and the feel that He is watching us , will save us from committing sin.
“Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 107:1
“O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures forever. O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endures forever. O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endures forever. To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endures forever. To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endures forever. ... Psalm 136:1-26
- It is great. The Mercy of God is abundant in supply and unfailing. How great that mercy must be, when we consider the depths and the heights, which has lifted us up. Go back and recount the situation, where you have been given unlimited mercy in times of need. Praise the Lord
“ For a small moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you. Isaiah 54:7
"Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reaches unto the clouds. Psalms 36:5
"For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. Psalms 103:11
- The mercy is sovereign (supreme) and free. Mercy does not come to us, because we have done something extra ordinary, but it is due to us by God.
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion……. It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. Romans 9:9-15
- It is particular. God is not merciful to every one individual, but only to those whom He has chosen unto faith, obedience, and salvation.
- It is unchangeable. ‘I AM THE LORD’ This is the only concept that never changes. He never removes His mercy from His children.
"Blessed be God Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me! Psalm 66:20
Nor His mercy from me! Psalm 66:20
His mercy endureth forever!
God bless you
