Mercy And Grace

My purpose is to encourage and build up people not to condemn or judge.  I always want to do it with the truth without compromise and I know that sometimes the truth hurts, but telling a lie would be far worse.  I believe every born-again believer should feel this way also.  Jesus always told the truth but some people hated Him for it because they couldn’t handle the truth, and I admit that at times hearing the truth isn’t always an easy pill to swallow.  But if you look at it this way only the truth can set you free, then it may be easier for you to handle. The Word of God is true whether we believe it or not and there is far more proof that the Word of God is true than there is that it is not true.  It has stood the test of time and has been proven accurate time and time again by historians and by archeologists and by the change in people’s lives that hold to it.

The Word of God is also the bestselling book ever and has been for quite some time.  It is good for doctrine, reproof, training and correction in righteousness so that the man of God will be thoroughly equipped for every good work.  The problem with many people is they read it but cannot understand it because it is spiritually discerned.  So without the Spirit of God you cannot understand it.  Sad to say there are many that claim to be born-again who hardly ever read or study it.  A lady told me she read it because she liked the poetry.  There may be people who read it trying to find errors in it or contradictions in it.  Some, in their quest to disprove it, are born-again believers today.  I would challenge anyone to read the Word of God with an open mind and try to put their biases and prejudices to rest and just let the Lord speak to their hearts starting with the book of John, the fourth book in the New Testament, and see what happens, God’s Word says taste and see that the Lord is good!!

Read Psalms 34:4-11, “I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. Come, you children, listen to me;

I will teach you the fear of the Lord.”  

The Lord’s mercy and grace are found throughout His Word and anyone with a desire to know the truth will find the truth.  Who is the truth?  Jesus is.  Read John 14:6, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Now read what it says in Jeremiah 29:13 when the Israelites were in exile in Babylon, “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

When they looked for Him with all their hearts they would find Him and I think that still holds true today!!  So seek the Lord while He may be found and don’t put it off, it will be the best decision you will ever make!!  His mercy and grace are still true today and everyone has experienced in one way or another!!  May the good Lord bless you and yours and may you have a super day!!
