The Mercy of God





Mercy is an act of God on our behalf and like Grace it is completely unmerited and undeserved.
Mercy is revealed to us by grace and apart from grace we will never understand the Mercy of God.


Simply defined Mercy is God's willingness to bring undeserving change.


Hebrews 8:12 God say's "I WILL be merciful to their unrighteousness,and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.



It is and has always been God's WILL to be merciful, it is His mercy that He will not remember our sins.
God does not want to judge us according to what we deserve He does not want to bring justice, but is always willing to bring mercy!


Romans 2:25 the word propitiation is the same Greek word as mercy seat found in Hebrews 9:5; Propitiation means an appeasement or the satisfying
of wrath. God's anger has been satisfied in and through Jesus at the cross, we can now come to Him with no fear of judgment.


Hebrews 4:16 say's it like this; Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.


God wants to show us MERCY !


Psalm 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.


God's will is that His goodness and mercy follow you not judgment and condemnation !
