The Mercy of God

God is a God of mercy and justice. We all need His mercies. And He abundantly pardons. When we go astray, we simply repent (turn around), and He forgives us. This is like expunging a guilty record in court. We’re declared free when we repent and receive His mercies. In the Old Testament the mercy seat was the cover for the Ark of the Covenant and a reminder that God meets us in His mercy. Now Jesus is forever on the mercy seat!
