Matthew 9:13
Matthew 9:13
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Repentance is central to receiving God’s mercy. This verse highlights the profound truth that Jesus came not for the righteous but for sinners, calling them to repentance. God’s mercy is tied to our willingness to turn from our old ways and embrace His forgiveness. True repentance requires a humble heart that acknowledges sin and seeks to be transformed. Embracing this truth invites us to reflect on our lives, recognizing areas where we need to repent and receive God’s grace. Living with this awareness compels us to continually return to God, trusting in His willingness to forgive and restore us. Embracing repentance as a part of our spiritual journey is essential to a deeper relationship with God, where His mercy and love can flow freely. Through this process, we are reminded that God’s mercy is greater than any sin, and His grace is sufficient to bring healing and restoration to our hearts.
