“Mercy, Truth, Peace, and Righteousness Unite”
Reference: Psalms Chapter 85
The anger of God is only quenched by the Blood of Christ.
In Christ therefore meet Mercy from heaven and Truth on earth. In Him unite Righteousness from heaven and Peace on earth.
God is at peace with man only in Christ. For only the Blood of Christ makes a man or woman holy in unity with God.
It’s only in Christ that God and man can agree.
Amos 3:1-4 “Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, [2] You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. [3] Can two walk together, except they be agreed? [4] Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?”
God roars against iniquities or sin.
He has made a way for sin, and that is His shed blood. He continues to roar at anyone who refuses to come under the Blood of Christ.
The psalmist writes about the anger of God.
Let’s read:
Psalm 85:1-3 “LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. [2] Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. [3] Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.”
Israel as a nation did not understand that the forgiveness of God was based on the shed blood of the lamb, which was only a shadow, typifying the Substance of Jesus Christ the Lamb of God and His shed blood on Calvary.
Hebrews 10:1 “For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.”
Israel received the shadow (the schoolmaster) but could not enter into the Substance (Christ).
Galatians 3:22-25 “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. [23] But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. [24] Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.”
Sin was covered under the school master. It could not be removed.
Sin is only taken away by the Blood of Christ.
John 1:29 “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
All forgiveness of God is based solely on this premise; the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 85:4-7 “Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. [5] Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? [6] Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? [7] Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.”
They knew the answer but didn’t know how to get in. They knew the answer was Salvation but did not know how to receive the Savior.
John 3:1-4 “There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: [2] The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. [3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?”
Today, many know the answer is the Mercy, Truth, Peace, Righteousness of God, but they do not know where they unite.
They unite in Jesus Christ the Savior. This is the only place God meets man.
We continue our reading:
Psalm 85:8-10 “I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. [9] Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. [10] Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.”
Mercy, Truth, Righteousness, and Peace meet together in His Salvation, which is in Christ.
Israel as a nation did not know how to receive this Salvation.
May I ask, do you know how to receive this Salvation?
We conclude our reading:
Psalm 85:11-13 “Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. [12] Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. [13] Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.”
In Him meet Heaven and Earth.
In Him the Lamb and Dove unite.
He is the ladder from Heaven to Earth, making peace with God and man.
Receive the shed blood of Christ today. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Lamb as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. God has forgiven men and women, only in Christ!
