Bible Question:
Hebrews 4:16 says Let us therefore come boldy unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need. So how do we OBTAIN mercy? I have asked a couple people and had several good answers, but don't know if I am satisfied with them. |
Bible Answer: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. Deu 4:31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. We obtain mercy simply because "the LORD thy God is a merciful God" Mercy is obtained through the blood of Jesus. GB |
