Grace and Mercy


Each day I'm a recipient of Divine grace and mercy from the Lord.

Grace - receiving something I didn't deserve and mercy - not receiving what I do deserve.


I need both!


What don't I deserve? ...

... God's grace - forgiveness and salvation through the Cross of Jesus.


That's delivered freely because of the unending love of God revealed in Jesus - God made flesh.


Ephesians 2:8,13 NKJV

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, [13] But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.


What do I deserve? ...

... God's judgement because I am, by my fallen nature, opposed to God. Intrinsically I am born with a biase towards sin.


Psalm 51:1-2 NKJV

Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. [2] Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

Psalm 51:4 NKJV

Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight- That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge.


Today I rejoice in the immense boundless mercy and grace I find in Christ Jesus.


Without Him I would be eternally lost.


As the old hymn says:


Mercy there was great and grace was free

Pardon there was multiplied to me

There my burdened soul found liberty

At Calvary
