Today’s scripture:
James 2:13
While God is merciful to those who choose to follow Him, He is not obligated to show mercy to those who reject Him.
Harsh words?
Maybe.
But God reveals Himself to all people. Paul wrote how nature itself is witness to Creator God:
"They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God" (NLT Rom. 1:19-20).
We have all been created with what’s been called a God-shaped hole in our hearts, and many—millions upon millions—have filled that hole with a relationship with God.
And we receive His mercy over judgment.
However, others—millions upon millions—have ignored the evidence around them and have rejected God.
So … how can they expect to receive His mercy?
If you want to receive mercy over judgment, commit your life to Him today. If you’re not certain how to do that, then please send me an email. We can talk more about a relationship with the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
