"God’s Grace and Mercy"
Isaiah 59:2
New International Version
2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
Sin separates us from our Almighty God. His justice and holiness move Him to be actively righteous, always acting in a perfect, fair, and righteous way. Because of mankind’s
inherited and innate sinfulness, we naturally oppose God. God’s justice shows us the seriousness of our sin which leads only to death. In what situation does it seem that sin and evil have the upper hand? Where in your life do you need God’s grace and mercy? Though sin abounds, sin is not infinite. God has made provision to deal with our sin through His perfect justice and His abounding grace.
God’s justice makes no sin acceptable, but His grace makes no sin unforgivable. When faced with your own
sin or the sin of others, seek God urgently for resolution.
