Deep dives
Understanding God's Mercy
Mercy is a fundamental aspect of God's character, but it is entirely voluntary; God is never obligated to extend mercy to anyone, especially to those who rebel against Him. Many people mistakenly believe that they are owed mercy, which can lead to a misunderstanding of both justice and grace. A true comprehension of God's nature reveals that while He is merciful, He does not have to be merciful towards sinful humanity. Therefore, it’s essential to recognize the significance of His grace as an undeserved gift rather than an expected entitlement.
