MERCY AND GRACE OF THE LORD
PRECIOUS MERCY BIBLE VERSES STUDY
Ever notice how the Pharisees words seemed to
bring forth anger and even judgment from Jesus in the Bible?
Words like ... Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.
The Pharisees were so very self righteous. They preferred to judge with
criticism rather than encourage the lost. Their natural
instinct seemed to be to condemn the sinner, not to help
them get to Heaven.
Jesus revealed that Mercy was an unknown virtue to them.
Jesus revealed this when He said ...
|
Matthew 9:13
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance.
|
The Words Jesus are an
echo from what was shared by the Lord in the Old Testament.
|
Hosea 6:6
For I desired MERCY,
and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt
offerings. |
The dictionary defines Mercy as ... Compassionate behavior on the part of those
in power (e.g. mercy shown by a judge to a convict)
Mercy is a term used to describe the leniency or unwarranted
compassion for a crime or wrongdoing.
Pharisees were "educated" on preaching law and rituals of
sacrifice but possessed no love and compassion for others:
|
Matthew 23:23
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have
omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment,
MERCY,
and FAITH:
these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the
other undone. |
MERCY AND GRACE WARNING
MERCY BIBLE VERSES STUDY DANGERS
If they believed the person was sinning against their view of
God's law, they would immediately condemn them and alienate
the person from Heaven. They would use their
interpretation of law to condemn the person. They even
tried this with Jesus many times.
For
example ...
|
Mark 2:23-24
And it came to pass, that He went through the corn
fields on the Sabbath day; and His disciples began, as
they went, to pluck the ears of corn. And the
Pharisees said unto Him, Behold, why do they on the
Sabbath day that which is not lawful?
|
They
quoted their interpretation of law to Jesus. But, Jesus gave them the Spiritual interpretation of the law. After all ... Jesus IS the
Word of God.
|
Mark 2:25-28
And He said unto them, Have ye never read what David
did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and
they that were with him? How he went into the house of
God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did
eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for
the priests, and gave also to them which were with
him? And He said unto them,
The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the
Sabbath.
Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath. |
Jesus
revealed that their interpretation of law was wrong and that Sabbath was given as a day of REST for man and that one
COULD do specific work on the Sabbath, IF it was for good
reason.
This quoting of law went on and on and each time, Jesus
would reveal the Spiritual truth of the law. Jesus would
speak of Grace, Love and the Mercy of God which is Eternal:
|
Luke 1:50
And His
MERCY is on them that fear Him
from generation to generation. |
MERCY AND GRACE ORIGINS
FORGIVENESS AND MERCY BIBLE VERSES STUDY
The Pharisees seemed so closed minded to their view of LAW that
they refused to understand GOD’S GRACE and that He is NOT
bound to their carnal interpretation of law and will have
mercy on whoever He wants, whenever He wants:
|
Romans 9:15-16
For He saith to Moses,
I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I
will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that
runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. |
|
Romans 9:18
Therefore hath
He MERCY on whom He will have MERCY,
and whom He will he hardeneth. |
These preachers of LAW seem
to forget that they too were/are sinners:
|
Ephesians 2:1-3
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses
and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to
the course of this world, according to the prince of
the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in
the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all
had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our
flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the
mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even
as others. |
And that they were/are forgiven and
received God’s Grace:
|
Ephesians 2:4-8
But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love
wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins,
hath quickened us together with Christ, (by GRACE ye
are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made
us sit together in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding
riches of His GRACE in His kindness toward us through
Christ Jesus.
For by GRACE are ye saved through FAITH; and that not
of yourselves: it is the gift of God ... |

LOVE AND MERCY BIBLE VERSES STUDY
It is Grace that allowed them to feel the
right to preach to others.
|
1 Corinthians 15:10
But by the GRACE of God I am what I am:
and His GRACE which was bestowed upon me was not in
vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all:
yet not I, but the GRACE of God which was with me. |
Those who teach of Jesus should stick to GRACE and LOVE like Jesus did.
|
Colossians 4:6
Let your speech be always with GRACE,
seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to
answer every man. |
Not
with worldly wisdom ... But with LOVE and GRACE.
|
2 Corinthians 1:12
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our
conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity,
NOT WITH FLESHLY WISDOM, but by the GRACE of God,
we have had our conversation in the world, and more
abundantly to you-ward. |
We
should Minister with GRACE
|
Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your
mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying,
that it may minister GRACE unto the hearers. |

|
Jude 1:21
Keep yourselves in the love of God,
looking for the
MERCY
of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

mercy.
|
James 2:13
For He shall have judgment without MERCY, that hath
shewed no MERCY; and
MERCY rejoiceth against judgment. |

judge others and have no Mercy ... Shall be shown no mercy by God when they are judged. So, we should choose
to show the same Love and Mercy that we hope for to all those we encounter. As for God to
do so with us.
|

The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those
that hope in His mercy. |
