Mercy For All Alike

For He says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and I will have compassion (pity) on whom I will have compassion. So then [God’s gift] is not a question of human will and human effort, but of God’s mercy. [It depends not on one’s own willingness nor on his strenuous exertion as in running a race, but on God’s having mercy on him.] Romans 9:15-16

The Truth is that our Father has a free will. He can do whatever He wants. He alone is Sovereign. So He can have mercy on whoever He wants.

Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same mass (lump) one vessel for beauty and distinction and honorable use, and another for menial or ignoble and dishonorable use? Romans 9:21

So our Father can have mercy on one if He wants and not have the same mercy over the other, this is what a lot of people believe.

As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated (held in relative disregard in comparison with My feeling for Jacob). Romans 9:13

But is this true, does of Father just pick some and not pick others to have mercy on? Does He choose some to spend eternity with Him and some not to?

For God has consigned (penned up) all men to disobedience, only that He may have mercy on them all [alike]. Romans 11:32

The Truth that sets us all free is that our Father has mercy on us all. He has the right, He is the Potter. He has the only free will, because He is God, and His free will is to have mercy on us all. Too many look at the flesh for evidence of His mercy, but our Father is a Spirit and we too have a spirit, John 4:24. The place to see our Father’s mercy is first and foremost with our spirits. 

But if any person’s work is burned up [under the test], he will suffer the loss [of it all, losing his reward], though he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has passed] through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:15

Some of us have been chosen to understand the Truth now. We are called to be the Bride. Which means that we have been chosen to serve with Jesus. Some of us have not been chosen to know the Truth now, these people are called the guests, Matthew 22:10. Some of the guests are good people, some are bad, but that doesn’t matter because our Father has mercy on us all. So even if a person does not believe and does bad things, our Father has mercy on them. They may suffer loss, but they will be saved from the Lake of Fire. Our Father wants that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth, 1 Timothy 2:4. Our Father is God, He will get His way, so every person will understand and welcome His Truth as they accept and submit to our Father’s will on Judgment Day, Philippians 2:10. Some of us as the Bride and some of as the guests of the Bride, but our Father’s mercy will be shown through all!
