#1-3 of the 13 Attributes of God.
– The Lord! (Adonai)–God is merciful before a person sins! Even though aware that future evil lies dormant within him.
– The Lord! (Adonai)–God is merciful after the sinner has gone astray.
– God (El)–a name that denotes power as ruler over nature and humankind, indicating that God’s mercy sometimes surpasses even the degree indicated by this name.
Pray and give thanks for Gods forgiveness during the 10 Days of Repentance; for God forgives us when we stray from Him. Do you forgive those who have made offense against you? Have you asked for Gods forgiveness for yourselve and others?
How mighty is our God, that He has power over nature and man! And yet he is mericiful and kind beyond what we deserve. Do you take Gods mercy for granted? God has determined a time that His mercy shall end and we will pay for our sins unless you have accepted Jesus as your Saviour, then he has taken the wrath for your sins on the cross.
For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath
but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep,
we may live together with him.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up,
just as in fact you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:9-11
