God's salvation through grace
source
But here is why I was treated with mercy: so that in me as the worst sinner, Christ Jesus could demonstrate his utmost patience, as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the eternal king, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever! Amen. (1 Timothy 1: 16-17)
Do you know why God chooses to show you mercy? It's not that you deserve it, but God is making a point. And failure on your part to understand Him and acknowledge His mercy would one day leads to a problem for you. Something Israel as a people failed to grasp, but Paul really understood it.
The Apostle said, even though he was a worse sinner by God's standards for Jewish people, yet he received God's mercy. Then it hit him that divine mercy didn't come to him because he was a Jew, but because God was making a point, not just for Paul alone, but for all humanity. That God can display His immense patience with sinners and give them opportunity to be saved. Hallelujah.
This is Good News. That even a worse sinner, even the devil incarnate, can be saved if he or she would accept Christ. Amen.
Paul also affirms that God made him an example, a pattern and a conduit or a conveyor of divine mercy to others. And it's the reason you and I are saved. Amen.
Now the question is, Have you and I become an example and conveyor of God's mercy to others? And is that leading and bringing people to Christ?
And is that knowledge or understanding making you and I extoll the Lord as the Apostle did, that God is the Eternal King, Immortal who would not perish, the Invisible, who cannot be seen yet exit, the only true God in this universe, though there are other acclaimed gods. To Him alone and only be honor, glory and worship forever and ever. Amen.
So let divine mercy finds its outlet and overflow through you in Jesus name. Amen
Thank you Lord for your merry. Now that we have received your truth, we avail ourselves to be instruments of divine mercy to others. And may this mercy accomplish its purpose through us in Jesus name. Amen
