The Mercy of God


We count those blessed who have endured.  You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.

James 5:11

The mercy of God refers to His compassion and pity for those who suffer. 

God disperses mercy as He sees fit.  He does not keep track of our doings, good or bad, to use as measure stick to determine who receives mercy.  If He did, mercy would no longer be mercy because mercy is a free gift.  God disperses mercy as an act of love for humanity.

We who know Christ have experience the mercy of God as we have received the free gift of salvation through His Son, Jesus.
