“The Mercy of the Loving God”
Let the
wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and He will have
mercy on them, and to our God, for He will freely pardon. Isaiah 55:7
The act of
MERCY is NOT receiving what we deserve.
Our Scripture is the words of the Prophet Isaiah. He tells us in verse six that the first step
to receiving MERCY from God is; to SEEK Him while He may be found; and to call
on Him while He is near.
The next
thing is that the WICKED, those who have NOT given their HEART and LIFE to God,
should FORSAKE their ways, and the UNRIGHTEOUS their thoughts. They should TURN to the LORD, and He will
have MERCY on them. And God will FREELY
PARDON them.
The Apostle
Paul in Romans 5:8, 9 says: “…God
demonstrates His own LOVE for us in this:
While we were still sinners Christ died for us. Since we have now been JUSTIFIED by His
blood, how much more shall we be SAVED from God’s wrath through Him!”
Isaiah and
Paul, both give us a CLEAR picture of GOD’s GREAT MERCY towards mankind. If mankind, who is SINFUL, until they FORSAKE
or TURN AWAY FROM their sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE
REPENTANT HEART. And will BELIEVE with
ALL their HEART, that Jesus died for THEM, and that He is ALIVE, in Heaven,
making intercession for them, before God.
And will CONFESS their sins, and ask God for His FORGIVENESS. And will ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, they
will be able to escape God’s WRATH, because He has PARDONED them. Then they can become a RECIPIENT of the MERCY
of the LOVING GOD.
Have YOU
followed these steps to an ETERNITY in Heaven, with ALL its blessings? God is
waiting for YOU to become a RECIPIENT of HIS MERCY. Won’t you do this TODAY! As the Prophet Isaiah
said: “SEEK the LORD while He may be
found; call on Him while He is near.” Accept God’s gift, which was made
possible through His SON, Jesus Christ, who died for us, and SAVED us from God’s
wrath. Do this NOW, while you still
can. He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
