- Pst. Tan Ye Peng

Righteousness and Mercy

Mat 5:6-8
Beatitudes - attitude of a child of God
Changing people through mercy not righteousness
Mat 1:18-19
A righteous man should also be merciful man
Joseph protected Mary instead of bringing her to the authorities
He married her & proclaim her as his wife
Mat 6:1
Doing mercy does not mean giving up righteousness
Mat 25:31-46
The expression of righteousness is mercy not judgement
Jam 1:27
Church growth is not very profound
God only reserves judgement for 1 day until that day come - He simply continues to love & believes in us that we will change
