What is mercy? Mercy is God looking down and not letting great consequence come upon you because He see's repentance in you heart and a change in your actions.
- 1 Peter 1:3-5 - His abundant mercy is the only reason why we are granted these things; grace and forgiveness come out of the mercy of God.
- Proverbs 28:13 - he who confesses and forsakes his sin (repents) shall receive mercy
- Titus 3:3-7 - it was not according to our works of righteousness that we were saved but by his mercy; we are justified (declared righteous) by His grace
- Genesis 19:15-16 - God magnified His mercy in the life of Lot
- Proverbs 21:21 - those who follow after righteousness receive mercy
- Luke 23:39-43 - an example of mercy showing that even in great sin, a repentant heart receives mercy
- Psalm 86:1-17 - David's prayer pleading for mercy from God; God is abundant and plenteous in mercy
- Matthew 5:7 - the merciful (compassionate) shall obtain mercy
- Lamentations 3:1-66 - it is because of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed; a spiritual rollercoaster
- 1 Timothy 1:12-17 - Paul obtained mercy because his sin was committed ignorantly in unbelief
