Welcome to the InTouch podcast with Tarl Stanley for Thursday, March 30th.

Scripture teaches us that God is merciful.

But does that mean he will cover everyone's sin?

Today we learn what mercy does and doesn't do.

Now let me tell you what I want to do this evening because one of the verses I'm going to read says,

the mercy of God is from everlasting to everlasting.

And it would take about that long to explain the mercy of God.

So I really want to zero in on one particular area of the mercy of God.

And that is as it relates to salvation, as it relates to our redemption.

And what I believe is a misconception, the part of a lot of people today, about the mercy of God.

So I want us to look at two or three verses here about the mercy of God for just a moment.

And two or three that you and I are familiar with, look if you will in the 51st Psalm.

And we will look at two or three Psalms here.

And then I want us to look at this matter of the problem that I think a lot of people have when they begin to think about the mercy of God.

If you recall, the 51st Psalm is probably one of the most beautiful Psalms of confession to be found in the Bible.

And the Psalmist says, have mercy upon me, oh God, according to thy loving kindness,

according under the multitude of thy tender mercies, blood out my transgressions.

And you remember this is David's Psalm of confession of sin before God.

If you look at the 57th Psalm for a moment.

Again, the first verse, be merciful unto me, oh God, be merciful unto me, for my soul trusted in thee,

ye in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge until these calamities be overpast.

The 103rd Psalm, look if you will just a moment.
