Mercy is a word that was used back in the Old Testament, and it actually was equivalent to the word “grace”—because it was the mercy seat back there, and it was the sacrifice that made the throne of God. And when you and I come to God, we don’t want justice. What we want is mercy. And we need mercy from God. Now, mercy is what God has provided for all of His creatures. God’s got all the mercy that you need. God is rich in mercy, we’re told. He has plenty of it.
