Few people think they need mercy

Posted on June 2, 2019 by Steve Simms

Mercy is not merit based. It treats people better than they deserve.

Mercy is compassion and/or forgiveness shown to someone who has done wrong. It’s not the approval or justification of wrong.

To dehumanize, disrespect, and/or kill a human fetus is merciless and dehumanizes all humanity.

God’s mercy and forgiveness will transform your heart and reboot your conscience. Lord have mercy. There is no one who needs no mercy. (Romans 3:23.)

Grace combines judgment and mercy. Christ takes the judgment you deserve so that you can be set free. It’s amazing! However, religion without a relationship with God is empty ritual.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I co-lead a non-traditional expression of the body of Christ in Nashville based on open participation and Spirit-led sharing. We long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia" that is available in Kindle & paperback @ http://amzn.to/2nCr5dP
