Mercy & Justice

God is as Merciful as He is Just. We often prefer to focus on God’s Mercy, but shy away from focusing on His Justice. In fact, there are many that do not even believe in God’s Justice, preferring instead to focus on God’s Love & Mercy. But God is also Just, and it’s a dangerous mistake not to focus on both.

Our Father loves us so much, He sent His only Son to suffer and save us. But our gratitude for that great sacrifice should not, must not, include taking advantage of that great love! As Mary said, “God is already so offended”.

Doing whatever we feel like, whenever we feel like it, is not supported by God’s Word.

It’s supported by Satan.

When we fall, God is always there to pick us up and Jesus is always there to forgive us. But repentance is required. And repentance requires not just sorrow, but change. Which means we need to try not to make the same mistake again.

Will our Lord forgive us if we make the same mistake again? Of course! But once again we must truly repent…

Thanks to God’s Great Mercy, Heaven awaits us, but we must accept and follow Jesus to get there, because Jesus is the only way 🙂
