Because Of His Mercy

Titus 3:5 
he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit

1 Peter 1:3 
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

2 Thessalonians 2:16 
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,

1 Peter 1:21 
Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

Ephesians 2:4
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

Rejoice in The Lord, again I say rejoice. No matter your circumstance, you are blessed! Christ has saved you! He intercedes for you before God! You will have trials, your faith will be tested. It is the devil's delight, to torment. Our salvation is our hope through the grace imparted by Christ on the cross. His shed blood has sealed us for eternity. If you do not know Christ as savior, you are a slave to sin. It rules you. It drives you. But you may say, I don't do bad things, I am a good person. Many good people will go to Hell because they think it is about them. It's not about you, it's about Christ. It is about Him being able to satisfy God's wrath toward man because of sin and man's fall from grace in the garden. God will judge our wickedness. 

Lord, help us to show the urgency of salvation. We need to know that our next day may not come. We need to know that Christ alone is our hope. Amen
