Bible Verse of The Day – 4-16-21

Luke 1:50 (NKJV) 50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.

God’s mercy is often thought of as a very large blanket that covers everyone, relieving them of the consequences of their sins.

This is partially true. But believing it only in its partial form can create problems.

If we believe that God’s mercy will fall on everyone, just because, then we are mistaken.

This would be akin to saying and believing that because Jesus died to offer redemption to everyone, that everyone will automatically receive it and be saved. This is incorrect.

There are a few key verses throughout the Bible that shed some light on His mercy, and who He offers it to.

The verse above is one of them. And look at what it says; His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.

You see, as with so much else about God, there is action and a commitment required on our end.

Yes, I know that can sound kind of strange to some because we have been somewhat conditioned to believe that everything God offers us is unconditional.

That, though, is a heresy. It’s a lie that has been propagated by false teachings, and it has deceived many, lulling them into complacency.

God wants to show us mercy. But He first requires that we ask for it. And then He wants us to be committed to Him, not just come to Him for mercy and then be on our way, continuing in sin and irreverence toward Him and His truth.

It’s important that we all understand this, so we will walk in it, and so that we can share it with others, giving them truth and hope for their lives and their eternal destiny.
