GREAT QUOTES on GOD's MERCY
Posted by: prophetic <prophetic@...>
"God is more willing to pardon than to punish. Mercy does more
multiply in Him than sin in us. Mercy is His nature."
- Thomas Watson
"Until we taste the bitterness of our own misery we will never
relish the sweetness of God's mercy. Until we see how foul our
sins have made us we will never pay our tribute of praise to
Christ for washing us... If you would know the heart of your sin
then you must know the sins of your heart!"
- William Secker
"If one's conscience is willing to confess whatever sins have been
committed, including the sin of unbelief, it will be sorrowful in a
godly way, earnestly desiring the mercy of God."
- Watchman Nee
"God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of
its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too
narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God."
- Charles Spurgeon
"God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance
whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed,
without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray."
- John Calvin
"Mercy, detached from Justice, grows unmerciful."
C.S. Lewis
"Have you ever stood on the same plot of ground with the publican,
crying--God be merciful to me a sinner?"
- William Tiptaft
