“An Appeal For MERCY”

 “An Appeal For MERCY”

 

“Against You, and You alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in Your sight.  You will be proved right in what You say, and Your judgment against me is just.”  Psalm 51:4

 

This is a psalm of David, regarding the time Nathan the prophet came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba, and had her husband killed in battle.

However, David did NOT sense his guilt until his visit from the Prophet Nathan.  David petitioned God to FORGIVE him by the GRACE of God and he requested that God would WASH AWAY his sins. He appealed to God’s LOVE and COMPASSION as he pleaded for FORGIVENESS. God’s FORGIVENESS is by His GRACE ALONE. 

David CONFESSED that he had SINNED AGAINST The ALMIGHTY GOD, and he submitted to the Lord’s Will, and he ACKNOWLEDGED that he was BORN a SINNER, (everyone is born with a sinful nature) and at NO time in his life was he without SIN. David knew that ANYTHING GOD decided about him would be JUST.  And so, David APPEALED to GOD for His MERCY in the JUDGMENT of DAVID’S SIN. 

In order for you to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with God you, MUST APPEAL for MERCY.  And because of GOD’S GRACE, COMPASSION, and UNFAILING LOVE, you can have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him too.  

And like King David, when the Spirit of GOD, makes you feel GUILTY, then you MUST COME to JESUS and ADMIT that you are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, GOD’S ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST who GAVE His life to SAVE your SOUL from an ETERNITY in HELL with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  You MUST BELIEVE with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for YOU and that He is ALIVE in Heaven making intercession for you before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL lifestyle and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and become a RECIPIENT of GOD’S MERCY and GRACE.  Do this NOW while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
