Rich Mercy & Grace
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:4-10
- Mercy undeserving kindness & compassion (New every morning-Lamentations 3)
- Grace unmerited favor (His grace is all we need sufficient) 2 Corinthians 12:9
The goal as Christians is to become more and more like Jesus. This happens through reading the Bible, praying, fellowship with other believers, etc…
Can you imagine what life would be like if we all demonstrated God’s love so much that we possessed His rich mercy and grace and exercised it new every single day to everyone we meet?
