Grace, Mercy, Faith, Salvation, Redemption

From the December 2911 issue of Yavoh:

"grace is 'unmerited favor', mercy is 'unmerited favor'. Faith is 'believing the promises (the word) of God'. Salvation is receiving 'redemption'. Redemption is ' being purchasesd out of slavery'.

What is the difference between grace and mercy since both are 'unmerited favor'? Grace means you received something you did not deserve. Mercy is receiving something you did deserve. Grace is God sharing His blessings with us while mercy is God restraining His judgments against us."

Think about this

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did'. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you'.

'If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got'.
