So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. For judgement is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgement. James 2:12-13 We are saved by God’s gift of Grace through faith. As christians, we are required to obey Christ. We, christians, will go before the judgement seat of Christ, to be judge by the way we conduct ourselves. We must speak and act that is pleasing to God. We must act and speak in ways that are obedient to God. God will judge those who show favoritism because it breaks the law of love. Verse 12,…

Mercy Seat Of God
Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in details. Hebrews 9:5 The mercy-seat was used as the cover of the ark of the covenant in the Holy of Holies. The mercy-seat was sprinkled with the blood on the annual day of atonement. On the annual Day of Atonement both a bull and a goat were used. The bulls blood was used for the High Priest and His family. The goat’s blood was used for the whole nation. This served as an offering for the sins as an offering to God. The Mercy seat is where God would come and…

According To His Own Mercy
But after the kindness and love of God our savior toward man appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, Titus 3:4-5 God sure does show us kindness and love. We have no excuse for being self – exalted or mistreating of others in thoughts or action. Since God shows us mercy, we are to show mercy to others. Our changed life is attributable to the manifestation of man because of God. He appeared to us in human form. God lived among us to save us, not for the works we…

Abundance of God’s Mercy
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, Ephesians 2:4 God is rich in mercy means “in the multitude of mercy”. He is abundance of mercy.

God Desire Of Mercy
But if you had known what this means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemn the guiltless. Matthew 12:7 Hosea 6: 8 – For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice and the knowledge of God more than Burnt offerings. Micah 6:6-8 – With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, and ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has told you, O man, what is good;…

Have Mercy On Me
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving kindness; your tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Psalm 51:1 Do you carry guilt of sin around with you? Do you feel shame? We all do, I think in my opinion. In this verse, King David had committed adultery. Prophet Nathan came to King David afterwards. David cries to our God for His mercy. God’s tender mercies blot out David’s transgressions. David went through a hardship before his repentance. His child with Bathsheba died. This brought him to ask God to forgive hims of his sins. David asked God to blot out his transgressions, to make his sins erased.…

God’s Heart of Mercy
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the Dayspring from on High has visited us, Luke 1:78 The tender mercy of our God is the heart of God. God gives the miserable and the afflicted mercy, He joined with a desire to help us. God’s mercy towards men is salvation. Here is Zacharias prophesying about John the Baptist ministry. He is talking about God’s mercies through His son Jesus, who will be the light in the dark. Remember Zacharias couldn’t talk until after his son John the Baptist was born. He couldn’t talk all due to his doubt. Through this Zacharias spoke about a pardoning mercy. Zacharias states that…

God is Compassionate and Merciful
Take, my brothers, the prophets, who have spoken in the example of suffering, affliction, and of patience. See, we count as blessed those who endured. You have heard of Job’s endurance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is very compassionate and merciful. James 5:10-11 To endure trials or afflictions is to be blessed. Job, What a man! Job is known as righteous man. ow he went through trials, affliction, and grief. He endured many things, and he was blessed. Job was patient in his suffering. He is a role model to us on how we should be in our sufferings. Even while Job was going through his…

Mercy Towards Iniquities
For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more. Hebrews 8:12 Isn’t God amazing that he will be merciful towards our iniquities! What exactly does iniquities mean? It means wickedness, sinfulness, immorality, or soul. These are some hard words to swallow. This is apart of us before Jesus Christ. Here God is telling us that He will be merciful towards our iniquities, and that he will not remember our sin anymore. How exciting is that! We get to start new because of his mercy he offers to us. Our slate is clean. It is white as snow. Again, this is all due to…

Offer Mercy To Others
Be merciful, as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:36 God is a merciful God. He is a compassionate God. In Ephesians 5:1, it says, “Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children.” God show us mercy every day, throughout the day. Think about everything you do, say and think! Not perfect, Huh? I know I am not perfect. Some days, I am just not functioning well. On these days I have learned not to interact with people because sometimes my mouth doesn’t work with my Brian and I say the wrong thing not meaning too. Boom! I am not given mercy. I get wrath. But let’s…
