(Ephesians 2:4)…..But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,…..
The devil promotes the lie that God is mad at people and anxious to condemn them, but the Bible says that God is rich in mercy. It is true that God will judge mankind for his sin, but He is not condemning man because He is mean. Man will be condemned because they do not know God and because they did not believe the gospel (1 Thessalonians 1:5-10).
Mercy means not getting what we deserve. Rich means an abundant supply, or more than enough. The Bible says forty-one times of the Lord that “His mercy endures forever.” (Psalm 136) makes this statement in every verse.
(Psalm 136:1)…..Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
We may look at people and think they don’t deserve another chance. They may have blown it again and again and they may seem hopeless to us. But God looks at people through the eyes of mercy. When we recieved the mercy of God our life was never the same again. Thank – you my God and Father for Your abundant mercy.
