Mercy Said No

[abigya]

Mercy Said No

I was just a child when I felt the Savior leading

I was drawn to what I could not understand

And for the cause of Christ I have spent my days believing

That what He'd have me be is who I am



As I've come to see the weaker side of me

I've realized His grace is what I need

When sin demanded justice for my soul



CHORUS:

Mercy said no

I'm not gonna let you go

I'm not gonna let you slip away

You dont have to be afraid

Mercy said no

Sin will never take control

Life and death stood face to face

Darkness tried to steal my heart away

Thank You Jesus

Mercy said no



For God so loved the world that He sent His Son to save us

From the cross He built a bridge to set us free

But deep within our hearts there is still a war that rages

And makes His sacrifice so hard to see



As midnight fell on crucifixion day

The light of hope seemed oh so far away

As evil tried to stop redemptions flow

CHORUS

And now when heaven looks at me

It's through the blood of Jesus

Reminding me of one day long ago

For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. James 2:13

As sin shows no mercy and steals all life from the soul
As judgement passes and justly requires a life
So mercy rejoiceth, yes, is excedingly glad to say
"Christ Jesus has paid the price required from you today".

Thank you for sharing abigya,

Bless you ....><>

[By His Grace]

"Bless the Lord O my soul and forget not all His benefits,

Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from destruction and crowm you

with love and compassion,

who satisfies your life with good things

so that your youth is renewed like an eagle." Psalms.103:1-5

Therefore, there is now no condemnation

for those who are in Christ Jesus. Rom 8:1

Thank you Jesus for your mercies.

God bless you Abigya.

Nice Post but how did Mercy Say No? :coocoo:

“How many are mine iniquities and sins?”

Job 13:23

Have you ever really weighed and considered how great the sin of God’s people is? Think how heinous is your own transgression, and you will find that not only does a sin here and there tower up like an alp, but that your iniquities are heaped upon each other, as in the old fable of the giants who piled Pelian upon Ossa, mountain upon mountain. What an aggregate of sin there is in the life of one of the most sanctified of God’s children!

Attempt to multiply this, the sin of one only, by the multitude of the redeemed, “a number which no man can number,” and you will have some conception of the great mass of the guilt of the people for whom Jesus shed his blood.

But we arrive at a more adequate idea of the magnitude of sin by the greatness of the remedy provided.

It is the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s only and well-beloved Son.

God’s Son! Angels cast their crowns before him! All the choral symphonies of heaven surround his glorious throne. “God over all, blessed for ever. Amen.” And yet he takes upon himself the form of a servant, and is scourged and pierced, bruised and torn, and at last slain; since nothing but the blood of the incarnate Son of God could make atonement for our offences.

No human mind can adequately estimate the infinite value of the divine sacrifice, for great as is the sin of God’s people, the atonement which takes it away is immeasurably greater.
Therefore, the believer, even when sin rolls like a black flood, and the remembrance of the past is bitter, can yet stand before the blazing throne of the great and holy God, and cry, “Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died; yea rather, that hath risen again.” While the recollection of his sin fills him with shame and sorrow, he at the same time makes it a foil to show the brightness of mercy-guilt is the dark night in which the fair star of divine love shines with serene splendour.

God died for his children

Man could not restore himself to that relationship, hee had gone to far. He had sunk to low. He was morally enfeebled by sin and doomed by Gods own edict to die Genesis;17.

There was nothing God could do but receive in Himself the penalty He had decreed for sin. True, He could have set aside His law and said that it was of no consequence; but had He done so He would have jeopardized the foundation on which the goverment of His hole universe depends. The penalty for disobedience is death, and this penalty had to be paid either by the offender, or by the lawgiver in his own person.

Because God is love He chose the latter course, though He knem it must lead to Calvary.

Here indeed was perfect love, made manifested by an act of utter self surrender and submission, the willing yielding up of life thet others might live.

What the Incarnation cost God the Father we sall never Know. How much it meant for God the son to Die for the human race must also remain a mystery. Even the angels do not not understand it; and it will be the theme of endless discussion and wounderment through all eternit 1 Peter 1:11:12




Always in thought of our Jesus lord God



God Bless All

“When I passed by thee, I said unto thee, Live.”
Ezekiel 16:6

Saved one, consider gratefully this mandate of mercy.

Note that this fiat of God is majestic.

In our text, we perceive a sinner with nothing in him but sin, expecting nothing but wrath; but the eternal Lord passes by in his glory; he looks, he pauses, and he pronounces the solitary but royal word, “Live.”

There speaks a God. Who but he could venture thus to deal with life and dispense it with a single syllable?

Again, this fiat is manifold. When he saith “Live,” it includes many things.

Here is judicial life. The sinner is ready to be condemned, but the mighty One saith, “Live,” and he rises pardoned and absolved. It is spiritual life. We knew not Jesus-our eyes could not see Christ, our ears could not hear his voice-Jehovah said “Live,” and we were quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins.

Moreover, it includes glory-life, which is the perfection of spiritual life. “I said unto thee, Live:” and that word rolls on through all the years of time till death comes, and in the midst of the shadows of death, the Lord’s voice is still heard, “Live!” In the morning of the resurrection it is that self-same voice which is echoed by the arch-angel, “Live,” and as holy spirits rise to heaven to be blest for ever in the glory of their God, it is in the power of this same word, “Live.”

Note again, that it is an irresistible mandate. Saul of Tarsus is on the road to Damascus to arrest the saints of the living God. A voice is heard from heaven and a light is seen above the brightness of the sun, and Saul is crying out, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” This mandate is a mandate of free grace. When sinners are saved, it is only and solely because God will do it to magnify his free, unpurchased, unsought grace.

Christians, see your position, debtors to grace; show your gratitude by earnest, Christlike lives, and as God has bidden you live, see to it that you live in earnest.

From C. Spurgeon
