Living in Mercy and Grace
Main Point. Right now, at this very moment we are living in mercy and grace. God loves us and God always comes from a place of Love as He distributes mercy and grace to us and our loved ones.
Grace:
Of these two concepts (mercy and grace), Grace is the easy one to understand. Grace is simple in that it means God gives you something you don’t deserve.
Ephesians 2:8-9: By grace are ye saved through Faith, it is a gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.

Mercy

Pastor’s Thoughts:
Grace:
Of these two concepts (mercy and grace), Grace is the easy one to understand. Grace is simple in that it means God gives you something you don’t deserve.
- For example, God’s gift to mankind is eternal life even though we don’t deserve it.
- Also, why we are here on earth God makes us ambassadors/instruments for His Kingdom even though we don’t deserve it.
Ephesians 2:8-9: By grace are ye saved through Faith, it is a gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.
Pastor’s Thoughts:
- Grace is given to all who receive by Faith. Without exception
- 2 Peter 3:9. It is God's will that all come to repentance
- Let’s be thankful for God’s Grace that is upon us. AMEN!!
- This fact in itself is reason enough to surrender all to the Will of God for our lives.
- Rejoice that your name is written in the lamb’s book of life.
Mercy
- Mercy is a bit more complicated but yet so important to understand as we grow spiritually.
- Romans 9:18. Mercy is complicated because God decides how much mercy to give to us/mankind.
- Mercy does eventually run out and it is up to God to distribute his mercy as he wills.
Pastor’s Thoughts:
- God always deals with his mercy toward us from a place of Love.
- Romans 8:28: All things work together for good for those who love him.
- God’s will is that no one perish.
Have Mercy on Others:
Luke 6:36-37. Be merciful even as God is merciful.
Micah 6:8. God loves it when you show mercy to others.
Pastor’s Thoughts:
- When you show mercy to others God will surely bless you with abundant mercy.
- You are living in God’s mercy and grace today.
- Have you responded to God’s Mercy and Grace with a total surrender?
- As we learn to understand the immeasurable Love of God toward us, how will we respond?
- Fight for a secret place with God (God wants to be with you alone)
- Fight to praise and worship in song with all your heart.
- Fight to be filled with the Holy Spirit to be empowered to overcome sin and darkness.
- Fight to be the best instrument of God as you can.
- Jesus said, if you love me, keep my commandments.
