Titus 3:4-5
But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.
Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
When Adam and Eve sinned they hid from God because realised they were naked. God knew what they had done and questioned them, Adam blamed Eve.
What does God do. He looks upon them with mercy. He clothes makes clothes for Adam and Eve. He then shows his mercy by saying that he has a plan for our salvation, his redemption. A time will come when he will forgive our sins and reconcile us back to himself.
His mercy towards us was culminated when Jesus said on the cross. For three hours darkness came over the land, the wrath of God was being placed on Jesus, yet the mercy of God was working at that time. When Jesus said "It is finished" the wrath of God was satisfied and the mercy of God was fulfilled.
Jesus I thank you that from the beginning of time you had a mercy plan in place, I thank you that when you said "It is finished" and offered up your spirit to our Father his mercy plan for us was completed. The temple curtain was torn, we were reconciled, we are redeemed and we have access to our Father through you.
Thank you for the forgiveness of our sins, thank you that we do not have to hide from you and we can come to as we are.
Thank you Jesus.
