This Is The Only Court
In Which You
Will Receive
MERCY

“Let us therefore come boldly
Unto the throne of GRACE, that
We may obtain MERCY, and
Find grace to help in
Time of need.”

Hebrews 4:16
Justice-or-Mercy

Suppose you committed a serious crime, and were brought into court. The evidence against you is overwhelming, and the judge asks how do you plead and you say GUILTY, and then asks if you have anything to say and you sincerely plead:

“I am SO SORRY!!
I promise I will NEVER do this again!
Please have MERCY on me!”

Regardless of how earnest you are an EARTHLY JUDGE has no choice but to execute JUSTICE according to the law — but before the HEAVENLY JUDGE it’s a different story!

While we all deserve judgement as due justice for our sins, in God’s courtroom 1 John 2:1 says that “If any man sin, we have an ADVOCATE with the Father, JESUS CHRIST the righteous” where 'advocate' here not only means attorney or counselor, but additionally that the fine and punishment for your sin WAS fully paid for by this advocate on your behalf through the blood of Christ:

“In him (Christ) we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of our trespasses,
according to the riches of his grace.”

Ephesians 1:7

All of us one day will stand before the heavenly judge, and if in that courtroom you do not have Jesus as your Advocate, your sentence will be the Hammer of JUSTICE instead of the Cross of MERCY.

Friend, sincerely confess your sins today BEFORE you stand in that court, and you WILL receive God’s MERCY which you do not deserve instead of the JUSTICE that you do deserve.

God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
