Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our GOD is merciful. The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and He helped me. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee. For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. (Psalms 116:5-9)
Our Lord Jesus Christ, the living Lord of all is gracious, righteous and merciful. His grace is sufficient, and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary not only paid our sIn debt and made us free to live for Him, it secures our relationship with Him because of our faith in Him. He is righteous, not only because He is GOD in the flesh, but because He lived a sinless and perfectly obedient life before His Father, which makes His sacrifice on that cruel Roman cross acceptable and Holy before our Righteous and Holy GOD and Father. He is merciful in that He extends the free gift of Salvation to all, despite our rebellion and sIn against Him.
He humbles us to the point that we recognize that all we need is Him, and then pours out His blessings, and His Salvation unto all of us who have surrendered to Him on His terms. He then simply commands us to live in, through and for Him. We are to preach His Word, encourage and disciple one another, and share the Good News of Salvation to all. His Spirit equips us to accomplish His work and will through His Word, His Church, and His power. GOD expects us to engage and enable people to enjoy Jesus Christ.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. You must be born again, and believe His Word and receive His gift of Salvation for forgiveness of your sIn debt. Receive Him by faith in His payment for your sIn in your place and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Let Him deliver you and restore you to a the right path in Him today.
In Christ,
