If you are saved today, it’s not because you willed it. It’s not because you worked. It’s not because of anything in you. It’s because God today showed mercy to you. God says, “I’m not obligated to receive anyone. When I save, it’s because I extend mercy.” And He’s free to extend mercy. If He’s not, then He’s not God, and my friend it’s not mercy if He’s obligated. God saves today because He’s merciful.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
