When speaking that God is merciful with us, it is being said that this of mercy is a kind gesture of God with all those who seek Him. The mercy of God is great for the whole world.
But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 4:29
When we seek the Lord with all our heart and ask Him, He will not reject us because He is a God who does not reject or despise an afflicted heart. He is God, shows mercy to all His children.
If you seek the Lord in all the place and call Him He will answer and you will find Him, He will listen to you and protect you from all evil. The word of God says that if we knock at His door He will open, that if we call He will respond, and that if we search we will find Him, because He is a God who pities those who seek Him in spirit and in truth.
When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey him.
Deuteronomy 4:30
In those times there were many people who only looked for God when they had needs, these people for not to hear the voice of God the evil came and reached them. We can not rule out that in these times we have people who are the same as those of the past, who only looked for God when they needed Him.
For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.
Deuteronomy 4:31
It is good that you recognize that He is God and that without Him we are nothing, that is why it is good for people to seek God without expecting anything in return. He is God and does His will when He believes it is necessary. He is a God of mercy who does justice and helps the thirsty.
When we meditate on the mercy of God, we realize that it is not simply an attribute—mercy is the expression of His heart toward a broken humanity. God knows our weaknesses, our inclinations, our failures, and yet He continually invites us to come closer. His mercy is not limited by time, circumstance, or our past mistakes. It is renewed every morning and available to all who humble themselves before Him. Many people believe they must fix their lives before approaching God, but Scripture shows the opposite: it is His mercy that restores, heals, and strengthens us. When we seek Him sincerely, His mercy meets us where we are and leads us to where He wants us to be. This is why no sinner is too far, no heart is too cold, and no life is too broken for the reach of God’s mercy.
The history of Israel is one of the greatest demonstrations of divine mercy. Despite their repeated failures, rebellions, and moments of idolatry, God continued calling them back to Himself. He disciplined them, yes, but not to destroy them—rather, to bring them to repentance. His covenant love did not waver even when their obedience did. This same compassion extends to us today. When hardships come or when suffering touches our lives, they are often reminders that God is calling us to return, trust, and walk in His ways. Trials do not mean God has abandoned us; many times they are the instruments He uses to draw us closer. His mercy does not fail even when we fail. He patiently waits for us to cry out to Him with sincerity, and when we do, He receives us with open arms.
Understanding God’s mercy should lead us not only to gratitude but also to transformation. Mercy is not a license to sin; it is an invitation to change. When a person truly recognizes how much God has forgiven them, how patiently He has watched over them, and how faithfully He has loved them, their heart becomes soft, humble, and willing to obey. A merciful God produces merciful people. As we receive His compassion, we are called to extend it to others, forgiving as we have been forgiven and loving as we have been loved. This is the true fruit of someone who seeks God wholeheartedly: a life marked by repentance, gratitude, obedience, and compassion. May we never take His mercy lightly, but rather walk in it daily, honoring the God who has never abandoned us.

THE LORD YOUR GOD IS MERCIFUL
“For the Lord your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.
Deuteronomy 4:31
Because the Lord God is faithful and his promises are Yes and Amen, his people is truly a blessed people.
The original Israel people rebelled against the Lord God through the years, so they were severely punished, but they got always His pardon, he was moved to pity. He was patient.
He never forgot the covenant he had sworn to their ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and He had and will have mercy on them.
I would like to think a little about the earthly Israel. They have abandoned their God, rejected the Son of God and crucified him as a criminal.
Really Israel deserves all their distresses they have suffered through years, deportations persecutions, and other terrible troubles, hardships received in wars, especially the second war…. But,
The fidelity of God, his promises, his mercy remains for ever.
We, Christian people, have become people of God for Israel has fallen in incredulity. They are the original olive tree, as the apostle Paul says, some of its branches have broken off and we, as a wild olive tree, have been grafted in among them, and with them partake of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Romans 11:17
So we are adopted children of God but Israel is the people of the Lord God. Because of the promise given to Abraham and by his faith, all nations shall be blessed.
Faith in the person of the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
It is very important to trust in our God, for he is faithful and accomplishes his promises, the Covenant made to the ancestors of Israel’s people.
All Israel, the spiritual people, also we, as a part of it, shall be saved, as the Bible tells us:
“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.” Romans 11:26.
The Lord our God is faithful…
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting…
Good morning i have just taken the step about 3 weeks ago and had my water baptism. I would love to know my bible more and i was wondering if you could help me. Thank you
Praise God you have taken the step of baptism. May you begin your journey of transformation becoming the person God created you to be. Develop good solid roots, become part of a Christian Fellowship and Bible teaching. The best guide to teach you about the Bible is the Holy Spirit. Invite the Holy Spirit into your life, the promised helper Jesus promised who will lead you into all truth.
God bless you
Nadine,
I have read your message and I do not know whether you are addressing me, but I say:
If you are already baptized, It is necessary you follow teachings of your Local Church where you belong there in your city
First all all you ought to learn the a b c of the Bible before being baptized and accept the way of salvation. You must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your saviour and ask him to forgive your sins.
You must go on in reading your Bible everyday and be led by the Pastor of your Christian congregation and be helped by him who is near you.
However, I’ll be glad to help you in some specific question.
A cordial greeting.
