Man’s disobedience affords God’s mercy an opportunity, and God’s mercy brings man to salvation. We were created to be vessels of mercy to contain Christ as the God of mercy — Rom. 9:11-13, 16, 20-21, 23; Lam. 3:21-24; Luke 1:78-79.
Because of God’s mercy, we responded to the gospel when others did not respond, we received a word about Christ as life when others refused to receive it, and we took the way of the Lord’s recovery when others drew back from taking this way — Hymns, #296, stanza 3. Quote from, Crystallization Study of Jeremiah and Lamentations, week 5, outline.
