Aren't you thankful God doesn't give us what we deserve?

Listen to Adrian Rogers.

God is not fair.

Do you know when I expect somebody to be fair to me, that means I have it coming to me.

Give me what I have coming.

Be fair.

God doesn't deal with us on the basis of fairness.

God deals with us on the basis of mercy. God deals with us on the basis of mercy.

We don't deserve anything. God is not fair. God is just and mercy.

Welcome to Love Worth Finding. As Adrian Rogers revealed in part one of today's message,

mercy is not softness. It is compassion in action. And the magnificence of mercy is that those who've received it will show it to others. When Jesus told the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke

chapter 10, he revealed the symbolism of our salvation. When others passed by us in our despair and need, Jesus rescued us,

healed us, and cleansed us, covered our debts. Jesus called us to do the same for our neighbors,

and we show when we're merciful that we're acting like him. How can we develop a spirit of mercy for others? If you have your

Bible, turn now to Matthew Chapter 5, as Adrian Rogers reveals more about the magnificence of mercy.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. This is a godlike characteristic that is in the heart and mind of

those who have been born again, and the way it shows is by having a heart full of mercy.

Those who have received mercy beyond the shadow of any doubt of peradvent adventure will show mercy. Now what is mercy?

My dear friend, it is compassion in action. That's what mercy is. Not softness, not sentiment,

but compassion in action. Now I want us to think about this beatitude, blessed or the merciful,

for they shall obtain mercy.

First of all, think with me, if you would, about the beauties of mercy.
