Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. ...consider that Truth and Righteousness (or Justice) are very rigid, stern, and severe…there is no bending or compromise in Truth, if there is, Truth ceases to exist! Justice can only be satisfied with judgment and punishment! On the other hand, Mercy is tender, mild, compassionate, and full of pity and sympathy, and Peace seeks agreement, harmony, and friendship! Only God could bring these (4) attributes together for the sake of condemned and fallen sinners! |
