Mercy Saved Us And There Is Mercy For All

He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His own pity and mercy, by [the] cleansing [bath] of the new birth (regeneration) and renewing of the Holy Spirit, Titus 3:5

This is an awesome Truth and one that is so often overlooked: we are only saved by our Father’s mercy. We are not saved because we work for it, or because we belong to a certain church, or because we on our own believe. We are only saved because our Father has mercy on us. 

So the question is: does our Father just have mercy for those of us who believe? Is God’s mercy only reserved for those of us who have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to know and understand the glory of salvation? Why would we be the only ones; or are we? Let’s look at a couple of other verses and see what we are told about our Father’s mercy.

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

And Peter opened his mouth and said: Most certainly and thoroughly I now perceive and understand that God shows no partiality and is no respecter of persons, Acts 10:34

We are shown that our Father saves us because of His mercy. We are also shown that He has mercy on us all and finally we are shown that He does not respect any of us over another. So if these verses are true, how can only a few of us be saved, while the majority of people aren’t? That just cannot be the case, because if it were, our Father would not have mercy on all and He would respect certain people over others.

The Truth is greater then what most preach. Our Father does have mercy for all and because of the success of Jesus we are all saved from Hell. We all may not be the Bride of Christ, Revelation 22:17. which means that we may not all be called to serve in the full power of Christ. Some of us may be the guests of Christ, which means some of us will be served. But all, both good and bad, are invited and allowed to stay at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, Matthew 22:10.  Look at Israel, not all were of the Tribe of Levy, the only Tribe chosen by our Father to serve, yet all Tribes were Israelites. Not everyone is called to be a Pastor, but all are members of the Church. Some are called and chosen to serve and some are called to be served, but mercy is applied to all, 1 Corinthians 3:15.
