Mercy said “NO” [October 8,2022 ]
Mercy said “NO”
Lamentations 3:22-23
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassion fail not.
They are new every morning
Great is thy faithfulness
There is a surge in crime and wickedness in the world today. The verse above says it is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed. Meaning, we should be punished or destroyed for our sins but God in His great love and compassion says, no. ( Mercy says, no)
He consistently gives each of us another chance to do better because of the sacrifice, Jesus made on our behalf.
John 3:16 says
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Even if you are a sinner and you believe in Jesus you will not perish or be destroyed as you deserve but your sins will be forgiven and you will have the opportunity to live with God in heaven
Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy
This verse from the new testament assures us that once we show mercy to others, God will also be merciful to us.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Believe in the love and mercy of God and ask for forgiveness when you sin.
Prayer
Think about the words of this song
Mercy said, no
I’m not going to let you go
I’m not going to let you slip away
You don’t have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness trying to steal my heart away
Thank you Jesus
Mercy said, NO
Amen
