God is rich in mercy and the Bible is full of passages about God's mercy.
When we sin against God, we often think that God will never forgive us. This thinking may stem from the view that God is vengeful, ready to strike down every sinner.
The good news for us is that God does not take revenge and wants to forgive us more, He is ready to support us when we fall.
Here is a selection of scriptures that highlight God's gracious mercy.
“If we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
“I will remember their iniquities and their wickedness no more” (Heb 10:17).
“Never be bitter, angry, or abusive, and put an end to all evil deeds. Instead, be kind to one another, be merciful, and forgive one another, just as God forgave you in Christ” (Eph 4:31-32).
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you” (Mt 6:14).
“Therefore, repent and turn to God, that he may take away your sins. Thus will come the time of peace that the Lord will give you when he will send the Christ that he has for you, the Lord Jesus" (Acts 3:19-21).
“The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving because we have rebelled against Thee” (Daniel 9:9).
“What god can be compared to You, Who endures faults, Who spares evil for the rest of Your inheritance? He does not hold on to anger forever but loves kindness” (Mk 7:18).
“In the Son, through the shed blood of the Son we are redeemed, forgiven of our sins according to the riches of His grace. This grace has been given to us by God with all wisdom and understanding” (Eph 1:7-8).
