Mercy and Holiness
God stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life, Genesis 3:24.
What must you do? You must repent and believe the gospel daily. You repented and believed when you were saved and you need to do it again and again. Come back daily, many times per day, to the glory of Christ’s reconciling, propitiating, expiating death. Ask the Holy Spirit to come down upon your life, bringing low your mountainous pride, igniting a holy passion in your heart so that the living water of Jesus will course powerfully through your soul, working supernaturally and redemptively to right the wrongs, to untangle the messiness of your hopeless marriage or ruined parent-child relationships. You have a God of great mercy and holiness, who by His Spirit can overcome any obstacle in your life. Your job is daily to repent of your sin and believe on Jesus, the great lover of your soul.
