All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. Psalms 25:10 (NKJV)
God’s way of dealing with people is not “everyone get what they deserve”. If it was like that all humanity stands condemned for all have sinned.God’s way is Mercy. God’s judgment seat is called the Mercy Seat. Even under the law the mercy seat was above, on top of the ark of the covenant where the tablets having the ten commandments were kept. Also God would speak His commands and judgements for Israel, to Moses from above this mercy seat.Exodus 25:21-22 God’s mercy is intended to get rid of the real problem which is wrong thinking and doing and make right, heal, and reconcile the wronged and the wrong doer because both are his children.God has in Christ on the Cross shown Mercy to all of us. Let us show this same Mercy to one another.
