Lam.3.22 - It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
Sometimes in life we meet people who have blown out their lives and they aren't so sure there is still hope foe them. Other believe that if they tell anyone their past, they is no forgiveness for them. What then is the reason for the mercy of God?
What is Mercy
God’s mercy means His pity, compassion, and kindness toward people. His mercy shows up in the believer’s life at salvation, and then God continues to show mercy in forgiveness. Mercy triumphs over judgment. Rick Warren wrote, in his article, “Seven Characteristics of Mercy,” that “learning to be an agent of mercy transforms our relationships.”
God's mercy is his loving kindness and tender-hearted for His people. His compassionate nature towards His children. Where sin has marked us reject, mercy counteract it and mark you accepted. Mercy is the nature of God. It is God's patient in action. Though we deserves to be punished, He shows mercy to everyone, even those who don't deserve it. God's mercy is beyond our understanding. God's mercy I will call a mystery. The mercy tank of God never run dry. His mercy overflows on us the bountiful mercy of God. The scripture says His mercy is from generations to generations.
“He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” (Titus 3:5 NIV). The benefits of God’s mercy include peace, love, and joy. None of the behaviors Luke speaks of come naturally. Mercy is forgiveness and compassion extended to those who do not deserve it. The accusers and the adulterers. He chooses to extend mercy to us, and He is unchanging. We cannot fail our way out of God’s love.
Evidence of His mercy
God gave me a testimony today and He saved me from a serious car accident, it would ja e been worst. I boarded a bus from Benin to Onishta (Anambra state, Nigeria). The driver was quite reckless, picking passengers where ever he wills. Just before the incident, he stopped to pick a passenger like he always did but wasn't lucky at the time. Where he pack, not too off the busy road, a corolla from behind hit the bus. What a damage. I then had to board another vehicle. Thank God nobody was hurt. It would have been worst, if for God.
That's what His mercy does, His mercy keeps you safe, keeps your on peace.
