MERCY TRUMPHS OVER JUDGEMENT 1-24-25
Mercy is not something God owes us, but it’s something He freely gives us. It is His extended kindness given to us when we don’t deserve it. God sits on the mercy seat and puts mercy over the law. Jesus showed mercy always in His miracle power.
Mercy – means compassion or forgiveness upon someone by the One
Who made us who had the power to punish. It is undeserved and never earned.
ISA 30:18 For this reason the Lord is still waiting to show his favor to you so he can show you his marvelous love. He waits to be gracious to you. He sits on his throne ready to show mercy to you.

waiting for him to help them. TPT

Jesus Christ is proof of God’s grace gift; he redeemed the glory of God in human life; mankind condemned in the language of religion, is now mankind justified in the language of the gospel! MIRROR
