Quotes about Mercy

PRAYER THOUGHT: Through Your mercy and grace, Lord, I truly and completely yield myself to You.

The reason salvation is so easy to obtain is that it cost God so much.

Jesus said, "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Matthew 7:1). He went on to say, in effect, "If you do judge, you will be judged in exactly the same way." Who of us would dare to stand before God and say, "My God, judge me as I have judged others"? We have judged others as sinners—if God should judge us in the same way, we would be condemned to hell. Yet God judges us on the basis of the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ.

He never mocks your weaknesses or throws your sin in your face. He never gets tired of you or gives up on his relationship with you. He doesn't ask you to earn what you can never deserve, and he never makes you feel guilty for needing his good gifts. His love isn't conditional and his grace is never temporary.

You can be courageous in admitting your sin precisely because God is richly abundant in his mercy. He comes to you in mercy not because you are good but because you are a sinner, and he knows that because of this condition, you are unable to help yourself.

He graces you with good things because he is good, not because you are.

fact is that no one gives grace better than someone who is convinced that he needs it, as well.

There's not a day without sin rearing its ugly head and not a day in which God's abundant mercies are not new.

Since sin means that you are a bigger danger to you than anything else in your life and since it is impossible for you to run from you, there is only one hope for you. It is that someone with power, wisdom, and mercy will invade your life, forgive your sins, and progressively deliver you from the hold that sin has had on you. That mercy comes to you in a person, the Lord Jesus Christ, and his mercy is always fresh, uniquely fashioned for the sin struggles of this new day.

The cost of forgiveness is great, but the harvest of forgiveness is a beautiful thing,

grace is greater than all of the sin we're grappling with.

In the busyness and self-centeredness of our lives, we sadly forget how much our lives have been blessed by and radically redirected by mercy.
