My God is merciful

Titus 3:5 'He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit'

Did we deserve salvation? No. There was nothing we could've done that would make us perfect. We were condemned to death and be separated from God forever!

But God showed unconditional love for us and gave mercy. How often do we get wronged by someone and have anger instead of mercy? In Matthew 18:20-21 it says: "Then Peter came and said to Him, 'Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?' Jesus said to him, 'I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven'

If God didn't show mercy, we would be on our way to the lake of fire. We take His mercy for granted and don't think what would happen if he didn't have compassion on us.

David thanks God for His wonderful mercy in Psalm 145:8 'The Lord is gracious and merciful; slow to anger and great in lovingkindness.'

Our God is a God of mercy!

Remember Gods mercy this week!
