Hello @hope777
Though i missed the previous assignment(What would happen to all men if God were not merciful?)
We are alive today just by the mercy of God. Lamentations 3:22-23 Says "it is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."
If God closes His eyes of mercy for a minute, i wonder who will be able to scape through His wrath. We still have the boldness to go to God and asked for forgiveness after committing the same thing/sin that we've once committed that he forgave us and because He's a merciful God,He still forgive and our hope will be renewed again.
It is the Mercy of God that gives us hope and help us to always look forward to the glorious heaven. No Mercy, No Hope.
May we continue to enjoy the mercy of God and may we never run out of His grace in Jesus name. Shalom
thank you for your in-depth reply. I know this verse but I did not think about it while doing the study and it is so applicable to this study! I just love the word of God! I think this is my new verse to memorise.
