As we seek God’s guidance and comfort on the journey of life, His mercy and grace illuminate our path ahead like beacons. Let’s now explore the boundless grace and mercy, feeling God’s love and faithfulness towards us, and using it as a guide as we embark on our life journey with Him.
1. “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
This scripture tells us that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence and without fear. It’s not just a beautiful invitation but also a steadfast promise. As we draw near to God’s throne, we don’t need to be afraid or hesitant because God has already prepared mercy and grace for us. In our life journey, whether we face challenges, inner turmoil, or physical pain, we may feel lonely, helpless, or even lost. But as long as we sincerely come before God’s throne, pour out our hearts, seek His mercy and grace, and entrust everything to Him, God will surely shower us with His mercy and grace, providing comfort and assistance. God’s mercy and grace are filled with His endless love and care. When we make mistakes, experience failures, or endure pain, God’s mercy and grace always shine gently like a guiding light, illuminating our path ahead. He doesn’t respond with blame or punishment, but rather with compassion and forgiveness. He tenderly comforts our wounded hearts, allowing us to rise once more. In these moments, we come to realize that it is God who loves, cares for, and cherishes us the most. As God’s word says, “Only the Creator has tenderness toward this mankind. Only the Creator shows this mankind compassion and affection. Only the Creator holds a true, unbreakable affection for this mankind. Likewise, only the Creator can bestow mercy on this mankind and pity all of His created beings. His heart leaps and aches at every one of man’s actions: He is angered, distressed and grieved over man’s wickedness and corruption; He is pleased, joyful, forgiving and jubilant for man’s repentance and belief; every single one of His thoughts and ideas exists for and revolves around mankind; what He is and has is expressed entirely for mankind’s sake; the entirety of His emotions are intertwined with mankind’s existence. For mankind’s sake, He travels and rushes about; He silently gives forth every bit of His life; He dedicates every minute and second of His life…. He has never known how to cherish His own life, yet He has always pitied the mankind He Himself created…. He gives all that He has to this humanity…. He grants His mercy and tolerance unconditionally and without expectation of recompense. He does this only so that mankind can continue to survive before His eyes, receiving His provision of life. He does this only so that mankind may one day surrender before Him and recognize that He is the One who nourishes man’s existence and supplies the life of all creation” (The Word, Vol. 2. On Knowing God. God Himself, the Unique II).
After reading God’s words, you are definitely also touched by His love. Therefore, let us always remember throughout our journey in life that we can approach the throne of grace anytime and anywhere, seeking God’s mercy and grace. May we treasure this precious gift at all times and find strength, comfort, and hope within it.
2. “For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations” (Psalm 100:5).
This scripture showcases the eternal love and faithfulness of God, revealing His mercy and grace towards us. Amidst the fluctuations of life, we often experience the world’s unpredictability and constant change. However, behind it all stands the everlasting God, whose mercy and faithfulness remain unchanging and enduring. God’s love and faithfulness are steadfast and trustworthy, transcending the limitations of time and space, surpassing the uncertainties of the world and the hardships of life. They exist eternally. Wherever we may go and whatever challenges we may face, God’s love and faithfulness are always with us. When we confront the storms and trials of life, feeling lonely and helpless amidst adversity and pain, God’s love and faithfulness serve as our most reliable guides and assurances. They provide us with strength, courage, and hope, enabling us to face life’s challenges with bravery. In God’s love, we are never alone, and in His faithfulness, we are never lost.
Therefore, let us cherish God’s love and faithfulness, expressing gratitude for His mercy and grace towards us. Every day, let us deeply experience God’s love and faithfulness, allowing them to be the driving force and foundation of our lives. Regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in or the challenges we face, we firmly believe that God’s love and faithfulness are always with us, continuously guiding our path for eternity.
3. “And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation” (Luke 1:50).
This scripture reminds us that God’s mercy is not temporary but rather eternal grace. God shows mercy to those who fear Him, regardless of time or place, without any limitations. His mercy is vast and deep. No matter how many mistakes we make or how many times we lose our way, when we turn to God in reverence, He always extends His loving hand to us, showing compassion for our weaknesses and faults. His mercy not only brings us comfort and strength but also serves as an eternal assurance, declaring His endless love for us. So, what does it mean to fear God? How can we attain the fear of God and receive His mercy? God’s word says, “‘To fear God’ does not mean nameless fright and horror, nor to evade, nor to put at a distance, nor is it idolization or superstition. Rather, it is admiration, esteem, trust, understanding, caring, submission, consecration, love, as well as unconditional and uncomplaining worship, requital, and surrender. Without genuine knowledge of God, humanity will not have genuine admiration, genuine trust, genuine understanding, genuine caring or submission, but only dread and unease, only doubt, misunderstanding, evasion, and avoidance; without genuine knowledge of God, humanity will not have genuine consecration and requital; without genuine knowledge of God, humanity will not have genuine worship and surrender, only blind idolization and superstition; without genuine knowledge of God, humanity cannot possibly follow the way of God, or fear God, or shun evil. Conversely, every activity and behavior in which man engages will be filled with rebellion and defiance, with slanderous imputations and maligning judgments about Him, and with evil conduct running contrary to the truth and to the true meaning of God’s words.”
“Once humanity has genuine trust in God, they will be genuine in following Him and depending on Him; only with real trust in and dependence on God can humanity have genuine understanding and comprehension; along with real comprehension of God comes real caring for Him; only with genuine caring for God can humanity have genuine submission; only with genuine submission to God can humanity have genuine consecration; only with genuine consecration to God can humanity have requital that is unconditional and without complaint; only with genuine trust and dependence, genuine understanding and caring, genuine submission, genuine consecration and requital, can humanity truly come to know God’s disposition and essence, and to know the identity of the Creator; only when they have truly come to know the Creator can humanity awaken in themselves genuine worship and surrender; only when they have real worship for and surrender to the Creator will humanity be able truly to put aside their evil ways, that is to say, to shun evil” (The Word, Vol. 2. On Knowing God. Preface).
From God’s word, we understand what it means to fear God. Firstly, it involves “Trust.” Secondly, it entails “Understanding.” Thirdly, it requires “Caring.” Fourthly, it involves “Submission.” Fifthly, it includes “Consecration.” Sixthly, it encompasses “Love.” Lastly, it embodies “Unconditional and uncomplaining worship, requital, and surrender.” These are the components of fearing God. To attain the fear of God, one must possess the reality of these 7 aspects, which are achieved through a genuine understanding of God. When we have true knowledge of God and real fear of Him, we can obtain His eternal mercy.
4. The Lord Jesus said, “But go you and learn what that means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Matthew 9:13).
This passage reveals the profound significance of God’s mercy and grace, as well as His love and salvation for sinners. God’s compassion goes beyond mere sympathy; it is a deep love and care for us. His delight in showing mercy reflects His genuine desire to extend compassion and forgiveness, rather than mere ritual or formality. His mercy originates from His innermost love and boundless compassion for us. In life, we may feel burdened by our grave faults and sins, believing that we are unworthy of God’s mercy and grace. However, the words of the Lord remind us that God does not save only the flawless; He saves those who are lost in sin. Regardless of the multitude of mistakes and transgressions we have committed, no matter how deep our sins may be, as long as we are willing to repent and seek God’s mercy and grace, He is ready to accept us and grant us the opportunity for repentance and renewal. His mercy and grace surpass our imagination, offering hope and strength for each of us to experience a new birth.
Let’s give thanks to God for His mercy and grace, cherish this precious gift, and always remember that no matter what path we tread, God’s mercy and grace are forever with us, giving us strength and hope, guiding us toward a bright future.
5. “But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth” (Psalm 86:15).
This scripture reveals God’s love and compassion for us, as well as His faithfulness and sincerity. In life, no matter how many mistakes and faults we make, no matter how many twists and turns we go through, God is always willing to accept us. He won’t abandon us because of our mistakes; instead, He reaches out His helping hand with compassion, giving us the opportunity for repentance and change, allowing us to start anew. God’s mercy, love, grace, and faithfulness are like a gentle light that illuminates our path ahead, making us feel His love and care. As God says, “I do not want to see anyone feeling as though God has left them out in the cold, that God has abandoned them or turned His back on them. All I want to see is everyone on the road to pursuing the truth and seeking to understand God, boldly marching onward with unfaltering determination, without any misgivings or burdens. No matter what wrongs you have committed, no matter how far you have strayed or how seriously you have transgressed, do not let these become burdens or excess baggage that you have to carry with you in your pursuit of understanding God. Continue marching onward. At all times, God holds man’s salvation in His heart; this never changes. This is the most precious part of the essence of God” (The Word, Vol. 2. On Knowing God. God Himself, the Unique VI).
God’s mercy, love, and faithfulness are a revelation of His essence, providing us with boundless love, unwavering support, and reliance during difficult times. May we treasure God’s abundant mercy and limitless grace, experiencing His love and faithfulness, trusting in His promises, depending on His grace, and steadfastly walking on the path of seeking truth and knowing God in every step of life.
