Where Would I Be: A 5-Day Devotional With Peter Burtonნიმუში

Where would I be if I didn’t have mercy?

Mercy is the act of withholding deserved punishment. Mercy is not getting what we do deserve. In Romans 3:23, the Scriptures tell us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We are all sinners, and our sin deserves a punishment. We need mercy and without it, we have no hope.

But God, being rich in mercy, had a plan to save us from ourselves. As human beings, we will never measure up. Every single day, multiple times a day, we need the mercy of God to cover us. The good news is that Scriptures tell us that His mercies are new every morning!

I can’t imagine what life would be like without the constant gift of God’s mercy morning by morning, but thank God I’ll never have to know.
