A Library Of Resources For Spiritual Growth
The Scriptures abound with the truth that God is a merciful God. Mercy is something that God is; it is a facet of His unitary being. As a diamond has many facets, so does God with regard to His attributes. God is one, and one facet of God’s character is mercy...His mercy is active, not passive. He has pity upon mankind, but it is active pity. He stoops in kindness to His inferiors...Being infinitely merciful, God never can be any more merciful than He is now and never was any more merciful in the past. The God who told Noah to build the ark and save the race of humanity is the same God with whom we have to deal today.
God will never be any less merciful than He is now, because being infinite, He cannot cease to be infinite, and being perfect, He cannot have any imperfection. So the mercy of God is what God is, because God is who He is...Judgment is God’s justice confronting moral inequality, whereas mercy is God’s goodness confronting human guilt and suffering.
