The LORD is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.
"No eye is quicker to see the mercy of God than the eye washed with the tears of repentance."
Charles Spurgeon
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
"...on that day when we stand before him, quietly, unhurriedly, we will weep with relief, shocked at how impoverished a view of his mercy-rich heart we had."
Dane Ortlund
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
As soon as we think God owes us mercy, we're not thinking about mercy anymore.
R.C. Sproul
Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
"The evidence of Christ’s mercy toward you is not your life. The evidence of his mercy toward you is his—mistreated, misunderstood, betrayed, abandoned. Eternally. In your place."
Dane Ortlund
But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
Be merciful to yourselves. Seek the Lord early, and so you will be spared many a bitter tear.
J.C. Ryle
But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
You can be courageous in admitting your sin precisely because God is richly abundant in his mercy.
Paul David Tripp
Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us.
Richard Sibbes
Remember your mercy, O LORD, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.
Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just; a God who is all love, but not holy; a God who has a heaven for everybody, but a hell for none. Such a God is an idol of your own. He is not the God of the Bible.
J.C. Ryle
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
It is well to praise the Lord for his mercy when you are in health, but make sure that you do it when you are sick, for then your praise is more likely to be genuine.
Charles Spurgeon
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.
When God's justice falls, we are offended because we think God owes perpetual mercy. We must not take his grace for granted. We must never lose our capacity to be amazed by his grace.
R.C. Sproul
Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
What an almost infinite field there is for mercies negative! We cannot even imagine all that God has allowed us not to do, not to be.
Frances Ridley Havergal
I say to the LORD, You are my God; give ear to the voice of my pleas for mercy, O LORD!
God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.
R. C. Sproul
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ--by grace you have been saved--and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
As every mercy is a drop obtained from the ocean of God's goodness, so every affliction is a drachm weighed out in the wisdom of God's providence.
James H. Aughey
For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
Mercy is not for them that sin and fear not, but for them that fear and sin not.
Thomas Watson
O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
If you look at God with the eye of the lawyer, the least sin makes you ineligible for mercy; but if you look at him in Christ, or with an evangelical eye, the greatest sinner may receive mercy; yes, the sense of unworthiness makes a man the more receptive.
Ralph Erskine
And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.
Nothing humbles and breaks the heart of a sinner like mercy and love. Souls that converse much with sin and wrath, may be much terrified; but souls that converse much with grace and mercy, will be much humbled.
Thomas Brooks
Great is your mercy, O LORD; give me life according to your rules.
Mercy is like the rainbow, which God hath set in the clouds; it never shines after it is night. If we refuse mercy here, we shall have justice in eternity.
Jeremy Taylor
Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.
Let your tears fall because of sin; but, at the same time, let the eye of faith steadily behold the Son of man lifted up, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, that those who are bitten by the old serpent may look unto Jesus and live. Our sinnership is that emptiness into which the Lord pours his mercy.
Charles Spurgeon
For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.
God intermixeth mercy with affliction: he steeps his sword of justice in the oil of mercy; there was no night so dark, but Israel had a pillar of fire in it; there is no condition so dismal, but we may see a pillar of fire to give light. If the body be in pain, conscience is in peace, --there is mercy: affliction is for the prevention of sin, --there is mercy. In the ark there was a rod and a pot of manna, the emblem of a Christian's condition, mercy interlined with judgment.
Thomas Watson
Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
At best we are but clay, animated dust; but viewed as sinners, we are monsters indeed. Let it be published in heaven as a miracle that the Lord Jesus should set His heart's love upon people like us.
Alistair Begg
There is not a flower that opens, not a seed that falls into the ground and not an ear of wheat that nods on the end of its stalk in the wind that does not preach and proclaim the greatness and the mercy of God to the whole world.
Thomas Merton
To sin because mercy abounds is the devil's logic; he that sins because of God's mercy, shall have judgment without mercy. Mercy is not for them that sin and fear not, but for them that fear and sin not.
Thomas Watson
The Gospel is good news of mercy to the undeserving. The symbol of the religion of Jesus is the cross, not the scales.
John Stott
To bless God for mercies is the way to increase them; to bless him for miseries is the way to remove them.
William Dyer
To be right with God the judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by the Father is greater.
J.I. Packer
Every man loves the mercies of God, but a saint loves the God of his mercies.
John Flavel
God does not accept me just as I am; he loves me despite how I am.
David Powlison
