This document discusses the importance and benefits of showing mercy to others. It makes the following key points:
1) God shows great mercy and compassion towards humanity, as demonstrated in several Psalms.
2) Jesus sacrificed himself to save humanity from sin and reconcile people to God, showing God's immense mercy and love.
3) Those who show mercy to others will obtain mercy from God at judgment. Being merciful involves forgiving others their sins and wrongdoings, just as God forgives us. Withholding mercy from others jeopardizes one's relationship with God.
4) People should pray for and forgive those who have hurt them, releasing them from condemnation, in order to maintain a close relationship with

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL FOR THEY SHALL OBTAIN MERCY” – Mat 5:7
1. No 1
“BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL FOR THEY SHALL OBTAIN MERCY” – Mat 5:7
(CRF – 7/6/86 – EKB)
1. Psalm 103 A psalm of God’s mercy and compassion towards us.
v1 Bless the Lord, O my soul…..
v2 ….and forget not all His benefits:
v3 Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases;
v4 Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with
loving-kindness and tender mercies;
also v10-13,17.
2. Psalm 107
v1 O give thanks to the Lord for He is good: for His mercy endures forever.
v2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so…
God’s goodness is revealed in His mercy. Let’s proclaim it aloud.
3. Though we were God’s enemies, Rom 5:10, when he beheld us heading for eternal hell He was
moved by His mercy and love, and sent His only begotten Son as the sacrifice for our sins. He
has “washed us from our sins in His own blood,” Rev 1:5.
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were
dead in sins, has quickened us together with Christ.” Eph 2:4, see also Tit 3:5.
4. The only reason why we are able to be here today, to rejoice in the blessing and goodness of
God, is because God is a merciful God, Jn 1:29, Mat 1:21, 1Pet 2:24.
5. God solved the problem of our sin, which separated us from His goodness and life, at great cost
to Himself. God gave all he had so we could be forgiven, reconciled, redeemed, cleansed and
delivered, Rom 8:32.
6. So “let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy, and find
grace to help in time of need, Heb 4:16 . “He will be very gracious unto you at the voice of your
cry, when he shall hear it He will answer you,” Is 30:19.
7. In Lk 10:25-37 we read of the Good Samaritan who loved his neighbour as himself, v27. His
neighbour was naked, wounded and half dead, v30, and was a Jew. The Jews called the
Samaritans unclean. They despised and avoided them. Before this Samaritan could stop and
help this desperately needy Jew, he had to have forgiveness in his heart for the Jews. He had to
have mercy, and be moved by compassion, v33,37. Jesus said “Go and do likewise,” v37.
8. Jesus said, “Go and learn what this means, I will have mercy and not sacrifice,” (outward
religious observance). Mat 9:13, Mat 12:7. That is, God does not accept our sacrifices of praise
and worship, Heb 13:15,16, unless we are extending to others the mercy he has shown to us.
9. The degree of mercy we will receive at the judgment seat of Christ, Rom 14:10-13, will
depend upon the extent to which we have been merciful to others, Jam 2:13. This principle
applies to this life also. The judgment seat of Christ, Rom 14:10, 2Cor 5:10, is the judgment
of believers for rewards which occurs soon after the Second Coming of Christ and the
2. 2
resurrection of the believers, Lk 14:14, 1Thes 4:16, Rev 20:6. This is different from the
“Great White Throne” judgment of Rev 20:11-15. For details see No 29 Pastors’ Notes,
pages 10,11.
10. God would be unrighteous to extend mercy to us if we withhold mercy from others. Jesus
said, “Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy,” Mat 5:7. Whatever a man
sows, that will he also reap, Gal 6:7.
11. In Mat 18:21-35 Peter asks a question and Jesus gives a parable. “How many times do I
have to forgive? Would seven times be sufficient?” Jesus’ reply is “Not seven times, but four
hundred and ninety times.” That is more than once every two minutes in a sixteen
hour waking day! Quite beyond Peter’s maximum expectation. Jesus’ parable shows us that the
extent of God’s forgiveness of us personally, is always far greater than the forgiveness we will
be required to extend to others who sin against us. Further, Jesus explains that the results of
unforgiveness in our life will bring spiritual disaster, v34,35.
12. In Mat 6:14,15, Jesus says that God will only forgive us to the extent we forgive others
their sins against us. In Lk 11:4 Jesus instructs us to pray, in the Lord’s prayer, asking for
forgiveness to the extent we forgive others. In Mk 11:25,26 says that our forgiveness of others
is especially important when we come to pray to God.
13. What happens when we have: unforgiveness or hard feelings toward another, bitterness
to someone, a resentment, a grudge, hatred, revenge, feelings of pleasure when another is
having a hard time, looking straight through someone who has hurt us, when we pass them in
the street?
Results:
God does not forgive us our sins, Mat 6:14,15.
Our sins remain on us and accumulate daily.
Our unforgiven sins become a barrier between us and God, Is 59:1,2.
God will not, cannot, hear our prayers, Ps 66:18, Is 59:2, Mk 11:25. Our prayers go
unanswered.
Evil influences and powers start to afflict us and torment us, especially in the mind
and thought life, Mat 18:34,35.
Our usefulness and effectiveness in God’s service decreases
We are responsible for a disintegration in Christ’s Body.
14. In obedience to God: Eph 4:32.
Choose by will choice, to obey God and forgive others.
Release them from your judgment and condemnation.
You are not justifying another’s wrong doing, you are releasing the problem to God
to sort it out.
Pray for those who have caused hurt, Mat 5:44-48, that God will show them His way and
truth, by the Holy Spirit.
