18. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bearany grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighboras thyself: I am the LORD.
- Leviticus 19:18
Do you seethis that the Lord is the same today, yesterday, and forever, even though thereis an Old Covenant and a new one?
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and todayand forever.
You see,Christ, Father and Holy Ghost are all one, nothing has changed it has been thisway since the beginning, let’s see:
Genesis3:21-22
21 The LordGod made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said, “Theman has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He mustnot be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life andeat, and live forever.”
So Mercyfrom God has been from day one, not all saw this, but a few that had the faith(trust) in knowing God created us all, and showed God that they wanted to serveGod since God is the potter and all we are is the clay, so I say do with mewhat God will, I only want to be the clay in the potters hand, how about you?
Jesus evenconfirmed to the religious leaders of his day about Mercy over sacrifice.
Matthew 9:13
But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners”
You see theones that are righteous are the ones that already have learned what mercy oversacrifice means. They already have been transformed. They have already changedtheir minds from unbelief to belief, and gave their trust to God and God only. Butknow that they did notreceive the promises until afterthedeath, burial,resurrection of Christ Jesus. See the great cloud of witnesses from the OldTestament
But none ofthese had received the promises as he now have they were looking forward to thecoming Messiah, were we are looking back read all of Hebrews 11 this explainsthis.
This is thelast verse in Hebrews 11, now please read all of Hebrews 11and see how we allare blessed beyond measure for those that believe.
39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, 40 since God had planned somethingbetter for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect
Homwardboundfreeing you from the law that was put in place for the express purpose ofshowing us our need for God, that in and of ourselves we can do nothing, we cantry but it is all futile unless you believe in God to take you by the hand andlead you all across this land, JESUS, he’s my friend, JESUS, and yours too justput your trust in him, instead of self or another man. Sift all things throughyour heart and the Holy Ghost that teaches you all truth with separate truthfrom error in you as you decide to listen, and you will be free indeed
God justlove you brother and sister!
