Good morning, New Hope family and friends
Are we sharing the wealth of the kingdom? Remember God's mercy to you.
Ephesians 2:1-5
"1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved" (NIV).
Remember to love mercy. Micah 6:8
"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (NIV).
Remember mercy triumphs over judgment.
James 2:12-13
"12Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, [13] because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment" (NIV).
Remember, being merciful brings mercy.
Matthew 5:7
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy" (NIV).Remember the real currency of God’s kingdom.
Matthew 23:23
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former" (NIV).
Have Mercy!
Romans 1:16
