God is so merciful and gracious!

God loves us so much! If it wasn't for His mercy and grace towards us....well we would all be destined for hell! Read these verses:

Psalm 103:8-10

8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.

I want you to catch a few things in these verses:

1. God is merciful and shows us much grace! We all deserve death and hell right now because of our sins but God gives us all the time he thinks we need to repent and call upon Jesus as Lord and Savior! Oh what an awesome God!

2 Peter 3:9

9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

2. Slow to anger...thank goodness God is patient with His creation.

3. He with not keep His anger forever! Judgement day is coming...all had better prepare! The only thing that will keep us from judgment is the shed blood of His Son Jesus....are you covered?

4. God has not dealt with us as He should....yet! Again refer to the 2 Peter verse above. 

So brothers and sister preach the truth and stand upon God's Word. Do not waver with public opinion, for in the end those who know the TRUTH(Jesus) will be the ones living with God for eternity! 

Thank you God for your mercy, grace, and patience with me so that I would finally surrender to King Jesus.
