Mercy not Magic

[@paulsmodels]

I live by the mercy of God, and not by works that I do.

The other part of this: if we have to run *back under* the Mercy, it is not about what He has done for us but instead becomes what we are doing to get back into the Grace of God (something we can never do by our own works.) The Mercy is always there, you do not earn it, you receive it.

So good.

Thank you for this! May we continue revisiting our catechesis of the Lords Prayer and how it preaches the holy life.

Hebrews 4:16.

Excellent insight. He is Merciful and Gracious to poor sinners like me. Thank you dear sir. Jesus is Lord.

Amen brother and Shalom. If we keep on doing evil and claim we are being led by Yehoshua Ha Meshiach, then we offend Him deeply because He never leads us in evil, but separates us from it by showing us our evils so we can confess them and be healed by His merciful love and grace. I used to be one of the people you are talking about until God showed me I was guilty of terrible evil claiming union with Yehoshua whilst doing evil. Thank you

Woah, where do we sign up to read the Bible in a year with you? That would be so edifying!

[@xnihilo1044]

Since you said a translation could be like a "den", is there a connection to Jesus' cleansing of the temple?

[@chadbird1517]

Yes, Jesus quotes from this section of Jeremiah when he cleanses it.

For the algorithm

Brother Chad, did Jesus promise mercy even to those who do not repent?

This is what allegedly happened to Anton LaVey: he saw the same men at objectifying shows of women and then those same men would be back under the same tents on Sunday morning trying to "act holy." It scarred young Anton, who was involved in the carnival as an organist. Understand that people are watching your witness. So act like who you are in Christ. We have already come into His Courts as Believers. So do not go out into darkness into things you really do not need anymore. Grace is not a light switch to turn on and off as soon as you are done getting lost in the dark. The Light is always on. So walk in it!

David and his men slew two hundred Philistines for their foreskins to get Saul's daughter Michal for his wife. 1 Samuel 18:27. And to win approval of Achish David and his men raided noncombative peoples not leaving either man nor woman alive fearing they would betray him. 1 Samuel 27:8-12. Maybe the people Jeremiah was preaching to thought they could treat their enemies that way.
