Blessed are the Merciful
Christ taught the disciples a way of life, instructions on how to carry themselves on the earth, and how to walk in repentance during His sermon on the mount. Being merciful is showing mercy, forgiving, compassion, being gracious, and accepting God’s people. Obtaining mercy is forgiveness. A lot of God’s people don’t have mercy because they don’t forgive.
Mercy means to withhold punishment even though one deserves to be punished. As Mark 11:25-26, we must forgive others (be merciful) if we have anything against anyone, so mercy can be obtained for ourselves. If we don’t forgive in order to be forgiven, we become an open target for punishment. If we do not forgive, we will not be forgiven by our Father in heaven of our trespasses.
In Matthew 18:21-35, Peter asked Jesus Christ two questions when it came to forgiveness. Jesus Christ told Peter that people would continue to do things against us and that we will have to continue forgiving them. Just like Christ continues to forgive us over and over again. Furthermore, the Apostle Paul talked about how he was/conducted himself and how he obtained mercy once he met Christ.
We obtain mercy by being faithful, by the grace of God, and operating in faith and love in Christ Jesus. We must come boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and then find grace to help in the time of need, but we can’t come boldly in sin (unforgiveness = sin).
