Just As Eggs Go With Bacon, Peanut Butter With Jelly, And Hot Dogs With Beans, The Pair Of MERCY & GRACE
Just as eggs go with bacon, peanut butter with jelly, and hot dogs with beans, the pair of MERCY & GRACE also go together and are God’s gift to all that want to receive it. Here’s why.
The Bible says that our sin is a debt (with compounding interest!) that we acquire in our lives that we can never pay back. The consequence for this liability is that every one of us deserves punishment and separation from God for our sins, but God has given us a 'Get Out Of Jail Free Card' that exempts us from the punishment we deserve! You see, the FINE of our sins has been paid for through Jesus Christ who took our sins upon Himself. He didn’t just pay a 'Bail,' HE PAID THE FINE! with this dual pair of MERCY & GRACE.
You see, it’s very simple!
MERCY Is NOT getting (the punishment) that we DO DESERVE (and) GRACE Is getting (the blessings) that we DO NOT DESERVE Friend, you can receive the 'Mercy & Grace' card simply by confessing with your mouth that you are a sinner, believing in your heart in what Christ did paying for your sins and rising from the dead, and start living your life for Him by HIS standards and ways - and not your own.
If you have not done this would you do this right now? Otherwise, TOMORROW is another day of compounding interest on a debt that Jesus has already paid. All you need to do is draw the MERCY & GRACE CARD and your sins will be forgiven.
Will you choose that card today?

If you are lost, you need a compass, but even if you have one, which direction is YOUR compass pointing? A compass has 360 points, so the question is, is your needle pointing true north, or one of 359 other degrees that will lead you astray?
You see, in this life we all are 'lost' on our path to eternity, so we need a true compass to lead us to safety. The question is where do we find this compass of life, and what direction does it say we should go?
Jesus gave us the answer when He said:
“ I am the way, The truth, and The life. No man cometh unto the Father, BUT BY ME.” John 14:6
You see, the compass Christ gives us will always point 'True North' and just like today’s scripture will always point us on The Way To God.
When you follow HIS Pointer, it will ALWAYS point you to SAFETY.

Nothing would be more devastating than to hear these words from Jesus, and it begs the question we all ought to ask:
How would you rate YOUR love and commitment for God? Is it close, devoted, and reverent? Or casual, presumptive, or lacadaisical?
If you don’t reverence the Lord as Almighty, the Creator who MADE YOU and LOVES YOU wholeheartedly and have not this same union with Him in your heart, your 'lukewarmness' might as well be ICY COLD.
Friend, if this is the case in your life, look inside your heart and examine where you stand with the Lord. If you need to rekindle your love for God, don’t stay in a rebellious or indifferent state! Instead pray:
Dear LORD, I have cooled my heart towards you. Please forgive me, Lord. I am so sorry, and I ask You to soften my heart, because I realize how much you love me. I don’t want to be lukewarm in my life towards you, but instead to rightfully honor you as my Lord and God with my whole heart on fire for you from this moment on for the rest of my life. — AMEN

Perhaps you did not intend to do something wrong…but you did it anyway.
Sound familiar? Well, you are not alone becasue we all have!
The reason why is that as good as our thought intentions are, as today’s scripture verse says, being obedient doesn’t emanate from the Mind but from the Heart. When we listen with our heart, and not with our mind, the Holy Spirit can speak and you will be able to listen because our spirit is tied to the heart, not the mind.
So walk the good walk, not the 'will'! Obey God from your heart and you will never fail.
