In days gone by, in Great Britain, a flaming preacher named John Bradford was out on the commons. He was preaching to a throng of villagers about the goodness of God and the saving knowledge of Jesus. During his sermon, the sheriff and the bailiff, with their henchmen, passed by. They were escorting a man who had a rope around his neck. The poor fellow was to be hanged. John Bradford stopped preaching, and with his eye he followed the officials leading that man with the rope around his neck. Then John Bradford lifted his right hand, pointed to them, and said, “My brethren, there, but for the grace of God, go I.”

Why is it that we have not fallen into some of the unthinkable sorrows and heartaches that afflict others? It is not because we are any better, though we think we are. It is not because we are superior, though we suppose we are. It is not because they are the dregs of the earth and we are the angelic elect of heaven. It is only because God has mercy upon us. He somehow chose in His sovereign grace to be good to us. 

That is why it behooves us who name the name of Jesus always to be humble in His presence and compassionate, understanding, and sympathetic in our attitude toward others. We are all sinners alike, saved by the mercy of God. There is no limit to the heights and depths of the love and the grace of God in Christ Jesus, and it reaches even to me. 

…..Pastor Criswell

James 4:10 (NIV)
10  Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

let us build in grace & mercy --- not in mans wisdom  pride & arrogancy

PROVERBS 8:13 the fear of THE LORD is to hate evil -- pride and arrogancy and the evil way and the froward mouth I do hate --8:14--counsel is mine ---and sound wisdom I am understanding I have strength

ACTS 20:26 wherefore I take you to record this day that I am pure from the blood of all men --20:27-- for I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of --GOD--

PROVERBS 28:13 he that covereth his sins shall not prosper --- but he that confesseth and forsaketh them --- shall have mercy 

PSALM 25:10 all the paths of THE LORD are mercy and truth unto such as --- keep HIS covenant and HIS testimonies

PROVERBS 16:6 by mercy and truth iniquity is purged and by the fear of THE LORD men depart from evil

PSALM 32:10 many sorrows shall be to the wicked but he ---that trusteth in THE LORD--- mercy shall compass him about 

PSALM 103:11 for as the heaven is high above the earth so great is HIS mercy toward them that fear HIM

PSALM 103:17 but the mercy of THE LORD is from everlasting to everlasting ---upon them that fear HIM--- and HIS righteousness unto children's children --103:18-- to such as keep HIS covenant and to those that remember HIS commandments to do them 

*******LUKE 1:50 AND HIS MERCY IS ON THEM THAT FEAR HIM FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION********

*******2 CORINTHIANS 13:8 for we can do nothing against the truth but for the truth*******

Grace is an essential part of God's character. Grace is what saves us. Grace justifies us before a Holy God.

ISAIAH 55:11 so shall MY word be that goeth forth out of MY mouth --- it shall not return unto ME void --- but it shall accomplish that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it 

2 PETER 3:18 but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST to HIM be glory both now and forever 

TITUS 2:11 for the grace of GOD that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men --2:12-- teaching us -- that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly righteously and godly ---in this present world---

JUDE 1:4 for there are certain men crept in unawares who were before of old ordained to this condemnation --ungodly men-- turning the grace of our GOD into lasciviousness and denying the only LORD GOD and our LORD JESUS CHRIST

TITUS 1:1 paul a servant of GOD and an apostle of JESUS CHRIST according to the faith of GODS elect and the ---acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness

1 TIMOTHY 6:3 if any man teach otherwise and consent not to wholesome words --- even the words of our LORD JESUS CHRIST --- and to the doctrine which is according to godliness --6:4-- he is proud knowing nothing but doting about questions and strifes of words whereof cometh envy strife railings evil surmisings --6:5-- perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth supposing that gain is godliness from such withdraw thyself

JUDE 1:16 these are murmerers complainers walking after their own lusts and their mouth speaketh great swelling words having mens persons in admiration because of advantage 

1 TIMOTHY 6:6 but godliness ---with contentment--- is great gain
