God is a God of mercy

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: God's character is characterized by mercy and compassion, even in the Old Testament. Christians should reflect that same posture of mercy, with churches that are characterized by love and patience. Despite our tendency to sin and fall short, God understands our condition and treats us with mercy. When a church reflects this mercy and love, God's blessing and divine protection will be upon them, and the enemy will be neutralized. Let us use love, grace, and mercy as a weapon of spiritual warfare.

When I read the Scriptures I continually see that merciful character of God, that incredible goodness mixed with His holiness and that is why I always try in my sermons and in my Pastoral treatment to imitate as much as possible that balance that I see. --break -> It occurs to me for example even going in the Old Testament where people would think: good was the law and there a severe and demanding God of the Old Testament is reflected, we see that God has not changed His perspective, He it does not change; He is the same yesterday and forever and ever.

And even in the Old Testament I see that mercy and that grace of God clearly reflected. I hear passages of Scripture like the one that says: "The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and great in mercy." It says that: "He has not dealt with us according to our sins nor has he dealt with us according to our transgressions, but as the father pities his children, Jehovah pities those who fear him because He knows our condition, He remembers that we are dust."
