The Mercy That Endureth

By Oluwafemi O Emmanuel

When I think about the mercy of God especially toward this generation where there is less or no more regard for God Almighty as it were in those days; where everyone indulge themselves in evil act, where religion has become an excuse for an act of terror, where the love of money has replaced the love of God even in the heart of the believers, where corruption has become the order of the day, where youth idolizes the things of the world and lust after its immorality, where knowledge has become a snare and wisdom a pestilence to the citizen of the world. Then this I concluded in my heart that if God can be patient enough to delay His wrath of His judgement over the world in general, then I think it is an understatement to say He is merciful but I will rather say God Himself is the definition, the true depiction and the description of mercy.

This book reveals the deep things about the mercy of God which many Christians don’t really realize. What more did you know about the mercy of God and what can we say about its efficacy. But the mercy of God is way beyond what we think and we need to learn a little more about it, that we might appreciate God.

Introduction

THE MERCIFUL GOD

Psalm 136:6

Oh give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good: for His mercies endureth forever

I will be discussing about three points which this reference of the Bible above is revealing unto us.

Giving thanks unto the LORD

Giving thanks to Jehovah Lord our God the Almighty is worth doing. Many people usually give thanks mainly for what God has done already, but have we made it an attitude to give Him thanks because of what He is capable of doing, and because of who He is?

Our God is an awesome God, who reigns on high; the God of Heaven and the earth. He is powerful, glorious, and excellent in all His ways, He has never lost any battle and will never lose any battle, His dominion is from eternanity past before the world began, He still reigns now when the world is, and would still continue to reign through eternity. Nevertheless, He is also dangerous and terrible in His ways; that is, His vengeance cannot be waited for and should be avoided, and He is a marvelous God. No one could really describe how great He is. But yet He still rules in the affairs of His creations; ready to have a cordial relationship with us, even though we are unstable in our ways, yet He still choose to commune with us. Wow, and that makes the Bible to introduce the next phrase.

The goodness of God cannot be compared to anything that may be termed good by man. Christ Himself was even telling the people with Him that no one in human flesh could conclude on what a perfect goodness is, that is, there will always be a setback in human capacity toward a perfect goodness. But in God only can a man be good (John 15:5). Then how according to the portion of the Bible is He good?

Mercy, this is God’s nature; it is compassion, forbearance and forgiving, having pity, a grace beyond measure, a love, a care and a blessing.

As we have examined so little in the personality of God, how do you think He should relate with man.

Job 7:17

What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

Does He have to grant him free will; that is man making choice for himself and indulging himself regardless of the will of his creator? Does He have to set His affections toward them by caring for them? Did He have to send Jesus Christ His only begotten Son that He might die for him? Does He have to reveal His mind unto him? And does He have to give him thousands of chances and wait for him to repent?

Now, if man is supposed to possess the personality of God how will he relates with other living things inferior to him; will he endure their trespasses and transgressions, will he make them make choices as they wish and still be patience for them to repent from their evil ways? Will he endure any foul and unbelief pronouncement on him by his inferiors? Indeed, God is so good to us and His mercies endureth forever.

However since in the beginning according to Genesis 6:6 the Bible makes us to understand that man had reached the peak of his wickedness to the extent that God repented that He had created man and that should be thousands of years ago, still up to this moment the mercy of God wax stronger; He is capable to forgive man million times a day. And so as wicked man is, yet the mercy of the Lord never weakens, the degree of sin never rendered It impotent, and the transgression of man never reduces Its strength. Once a man repents, every of his trespass shall be forgiven and forgotten because the patient of mercy never get wearied out; it became renewed every morning and so it endures forever.

Grace and Mercy.

Today, many Christians don’t know the difference between Grace and Mercy. Even though my discussion is on mercy, but to know the relationship between the two we will have to go a little into grace in comparison to mercy.

It is made known that grace is basically getting what you don’t deserve, of which what is best been used as an example is
