GOD’S MERCY
THE SEED
“But God demonstrates His own Love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us”. Romans 5:8.
The word “mercy” means to show compassion by withholding deserved punishment. No one deserves anything better than God’s judgement, but out of love and mercy, God Almighty sent Jesus Christ to die for our sins so we can have a place in Heaven. That is the greatest gift of God’s mercy for humanity.
We live in a world that no longer pleads for mercy, but justice. The mercy of God is being taken for granted by many. Instead of them to embrace His mercy while it’s available, they play around with it, just like the Israelites in the time past, until the judgement of God finally landed upon them and they were thrown into captivity, where they cried upon the Lord.
Prophet Nehemiah wrote about God’s mercy towards them that “but in your great mercy, you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God” Nehemiah 9:31.
Don’t wait until the Lord’s mercy runs out before you come to Him. In fact, you may not have the opportunity of a second chance.
Appreciate God today by warming up to His arm of mercy that is stretched towards you.
PRAYER
Father in Jesus name, help me not to take your mercy for granted. Amen
