Good News for You

Good news for you: God's mercy triumphs over judgment for you. God is the Judge of all mankind. His justice bends to no one. His justice must prevail in all things. Mercy triumphs over judgment only in God's Son. As a believer in Jesus Christ, He took your judgment at the cross. That's good news for you. Mercy triumphed over judgment in Christ.

God's judgment was placed upon Jesus at the cross for your sins. In your place, Jesus was judged for your sins. Judgment was served, that God could be both just and merciful. Justice was fully paid for your sins, God could show mercy to you. In Christ, God's mercy triumphed over judgment, "that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus" (Romans 3:26). Mercy in Christ is God's good news for you.

Pray the Word: God, I receive the good news in Christ. I receive the mercy You have for me in Your Son. I praise You for mercy through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Do the Word: Refuse condemnation. Get rid of all your guilt for past sins. Mercy is your friend. God is full of mercy for you in Christ. Thank God for His mercy. Share the mercy of God in Christ with others.
