Mercy And Grace

I got saved at a tent revival when I was nine. I’ll never forget it. I love the redemption story of the Apostle Paul and how it displays the abundant mercy and grace of Jesus.

1 Timothy 1:12-14  And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;  Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.  And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Mercy withheld the wrath of God when Paul persecuted the church and blasphemed the name of Jesus.

Grace – greater than any sin -- came to him on the Damascus Road, confronted him concerning his sins, and saved his soul. What a change!  What a testimony!

Do you have a testimony of faith? God’s Grace saves all who believe on Jesus by faith.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
