giving me what I do not deserve (i.e. blessings)

“

Who He is, is not the same as what He does. Often, when we seek to define or 

relate to Jesus, we think of what He has done for us. This, however, is only a 

partial glimpse of Him. What he does comes from who He is.”

“

It will be seen that mercy in God is not merely His pardon of offenders, but His 

attitude to man and to the world genuinely, from which His pardoning mercy 

proceeds

the two 

of them went together.” Genesis 22:8

[the god of the Ammonites]

.”

Levitic

us 18:21

“[I] will provide for [myself] the lamb for the offering.” Genesis 22:8

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever 

believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send 

His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him 

might be saved.”

“

But God, who 

is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 

even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by 

grace you have been saved). And raised us up together and made us sit together in 

the heavenly places in Christ

Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the 

exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by 

grace, you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift 

of God, not of works, lest anyone should

boast. For we are His workmanship 

created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we 

should walk in them.”
