GOD IS MERCIFUL – HE IS INFINITELY, UNCHANGEABLY COMPASSIONATE AND KIND (Saturday, 15th November 2025)
Text for Today: Rom. 9:14-18 “For He says to Moses, Ï will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” (vs. 15).
As noted above, God’s mercy is inseparable from his justness. He is infinitely, unchangeably, unfailingly merciful – forgiving, lovingly kind toward us. He is inexhaustibly, actively compassionate. His mercy is also undeserved by us. There was no right on the sinner’s part, to the saving mercy of the Most-High God. Without the mercy of God, we would have no hope of heaven. Another attribute of God is that, GOD IS GRACIOUS – God Is Infinitely Inclined to Spare the Guilty. “The LORD is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in loving-kindness.” – Ps. 145:8. If mercy is not getting what we do deserve (damnation), grace is getting what we don’t deserve (eternal life).
Because grace is a part of who God is and not just an action he bestows, it means we can trust that grace is eternal. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God…” Eph. 2:8. His grace is also sovereign. “I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious” (Ex. 33:19). When talking about the grace of God, theologians will often differentiate between God’s common grace and his saving grace. “His common grace is a gift to all of mankind. It is the reason that everyone – Christian or non-Christian – enjoy the blessings of life, provision, and abundance. Matt. 5:45 tells us, ‘For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.’” While all of humanity benefits from common grace, only those who profess believe and put their faith in Christ receive saving grace.
