Micah 7:18 KJV
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
I love this exultation of the Lord. The prophet bursts out in rejoicing toward His God and closing this phrase with the words, "...because He delighteth in mercy."
Thank God for this quality of His. God delights in mercy, in showing kindness and favor to those who least deserve it.
Thank God for His grace. It is the grace of God that provided Jesus Christ as the sacrifice for our sins so God
• Can pardon iniquity
• Can pass by transgression
• Can release His anger against the sinner
Justice could have never allowed for mercy if it had not been for this grace. Mercy would have been an injustice if God's sentence of death upon sin had not been executed upon Jesus Christ when He identified Himself with mankind.
Who is a God like this?
Where in this world will you find any other god who is both merciful and just, who is both holy and gracious, who will pass by the transgressions of sinner, but do in justly because He has Himself been judged for our sins?
