In His MERCY God created refuge for ALL PEOPLE before we even knew we needed it.
In His GRACE God provided the salvation we could never achieve on our own.
God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
“Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive MERCY and find GRACE to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16
