Subject: God showeth mercy |
Bible Note: king james version: SO THEN IT IS NOT OF HIM THAT WILLETH, NOR OF HIM THAT RUNNETH, BUT OF GOD THAT SHOWETH MERCY. God is a merciful God and He is a loving God. It behooves us to make sure we are on the Lords side. As Pharaoh was full filling his role back in the bible days. Romans 9:17, that God might show His power, I don't want to full fill my purpose in the negative, meaning on the evil ones team. How about you. we must strive to please the Father and if there is a question, this is why The Comforter which is the Holy Ghost was sent to us. to lead us and guide us into all truth. |
