Description

In the Old Testament, when people pleaded and prayed for the mercy of God, they didn’t know what we know or have what we have. They were on one side of the cross of Jesus Christ, but we are on the other side. The cross is God’s fullest expression of mercy, goodness, and love toward us.

However, some people today mistakenly view God’s mercy as securing universal salvation for everyone or excusing willful sin. In this message, Dr. Stanley explores Scripture that clarifies the relationship between His mercy, our salvation, and His holiness.

Learn how to put God’s righteousness and mercy, and the sinfulness of man, into proper perspective. It’s only the cross of Jesus Christ that makes His mercy available to us for redemption, so that once and for all, we are made acceptable to Him.
