Receiving God’s Mercy
In the gospel of Luke, Luke quotes Mary the mother of Jesus saying,
"And Mary said:
"My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me
holy is his name.
His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.”
Luke 1:46-50.
Truly all generations of Christians are calling Mary blessed. What could be greater than God choosing her to bring forth His son Jesus.
Notable here is what Mary says about those who fear God. She states,
“His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.”
If you truly believe in God and His Son Christ Jesus then God’s mercy is shown to you. It is through the Mercy of God that comes from believing in Christ Jesus that saves us. The apostle Paul writing,
"But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit" Titus 3:4,5.
Do you believe in God?
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?
Have you received God’s mercy?
Please think about it.
