Let's go to Matthew chapter 5 again, look at the 5th beatitude.
Matthew chapter 5 verse 7, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."
It's a blessing to be merciful.
Why?
Because you'll obtain mercy.
Of course, James 2.13 says, "For he shall have judgment without mercy that hath showed
no mercy, and mercy rejoiceth against judgment."
The Bible says, "He shall have judgment without mercy that hath showed no mercy."
So if you show no mercy, you're not going to get any mercy.
Whereas if you're merciful, you'll obtain mercy, right?
Whatever judgment wherewith you judge, therewith shall you be judged, right?
You're going to be judged according to how you judge others.
If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
If you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses, right?
So blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
