ATTRIBUTES OF GOD - MERCIFUL

For the LORD your God is a merciful God; 

he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, 

which he confirmed to them by oath.”  

Deuteronomy 4:31

God is merciful.  His merciful compassion is never ending.  In His mercy He does not give us what our sins deserve - He forgives and restores all who repent and turn to Him in faith.  He is the master of mercy and without it, we would have no hope.


God’s mercy seeks both the temporal need of mankind as well as eternal salvation.  His mercy and His justice are inseparable, withholding the punishment we rightfully deserve.  All humanity benefits from God’s mercy.  Our mercy towards others should reflect the mercy of God toward us.
