REPENTANCE, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND MERCY

REPENTANCE IS NOT OPTIONAL We know that God is absolutely just. He doesn’t ever vary day by day. His judgement of a sinner is a must; For Him to be consistent all the way. We know that He is perfect when He acts. Not a detail has been overlooked. He’s aware of each and every fact. In other words, a sinner’s goose is cooked. But merciful is what He wants to be. A sinner’s death is not what He desires. He prefers to set a sinner free; Rather than consign him to Hell’s fires. But He will not ever give consent; To set us free unless we will repent.

---oOo-- RIGHTEOUSNESS AND MERCY KISS Righteousness and mercy! Can they mix? Is it possible for them to kiss? Unless they can, we are all in a fix. And righteousness is something will miss. But righteousness is what we all desire. Without it we’re excluded from the Lord. It’s the goal to which we all aspire. But something people never can afford. It seems frustration is what we will know. Until the Lord of Heaven makes a way; Until His healing balm begins to flow, And He makes it available each day. He’s already brought this thing about. They’ve met and kissed, Let’s give a “Glory” shout! Jim Strickland – 26th September 2011 ---oOo--
