“But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.” (Psalm 52:8 NKJV)

Within Christendom, mercy is commonly understood as the gracious act of not receiving the consequences one rightfully deserves. However, a deeper perspective emerges, transforming your behavior into a covenant with God’s acceptance by our unwavering trust in God's loving character. This broader view sees mercy as a continuous attitude, where God not only withholds deserved consequences but perpetually accepts our reliance on His love as the foundation of our trust in Him.

“Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the Lord.” (Psalm 4:5 NKJV)
