Truth Matters: A God merciful and gracious

Various Passages

We are sinners who do not deserve to go to heaven. We deserve to go to hell. Yet God is merciful and gracious. In his mercy He does not give us the hell we deserve, and in his grace He gives us the heaven we do not deserve. He does not do so grudgingly, but loves us from the heart. Even if He has to punish us, it pains his heart to do so: "My heart cries out for Moab...I drench you with my tears...my inner parts moan like a lyre..." (Isa. 15:5, 16:9, 11). "...He does not afflict from his heart or grieve the children of men." (Lam. 3:33). God's heart is to show mercy. He punishes only when provoked. A sermon by Ivor Jefferies.
