Praise God who is RICH in MERCY
“But God, being RICH IN MERCY, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),”
What powerful words these are! If someone has ever made you mad or hurt you or a loved one, then you may know what it’s like to feel resentment or harbor negative feelings toward the person. Yet, God doesn’t harbor resentment toward us. He doesn’t hold a grudge against us. Rather, on the basis of Christ’s sacrifice for our sins, He forgives us and separates our sin as far as the east is from the west. God is RICH IN MERCY. How does knowing that cause you to live gratefully before Him?
Lord, we praise You and thank You for being RICH IN MERCY! What a wonderful God you are! Quicken us to imitate You and be rich in mercy towards others.
