==2:4. THE DIVINE MERCY==

2:4.1 [[Mercy]] is simply [[justice]] tempered by that [[wisdom]] which [[grows]] out of [[perfection]] of [[knowledge]] and the full recognition of the [[Human condition|natural weaknesses]] and [[environmental]] handicaps of [[finite]] [[creatures]]. "Our God is full of [[compassion]], [[gracious]], long-suffering, and [[Abundance|plenteous]] in [[mercy]]." Therefore "whosoever calls upon the Lord shall be saved," "for he will abundantly pardon." "The mercy of the Lord is from [[Eternal|everlasting]] to everlasting"; yes, "his mercy [[endures]] forever." "I am the Lord who executes [[loving]]-[[kindness]], [[judgment]], and [[Goodness|righteousness]] in the [[earth]], for in these things I [[Joy|delight]]." "I do not afflict willingly nor [[grieve]] the [[children]] of [[Humanity|men]]," for I am "[[the Father]] of mercies and the [[God]] of all [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Giver_of_Comfort-1995-12-11 comfort]."

2:4.2 God is inherently [[kind]], naturally [[compassionate]], and everlastingly merciful. And never is it [[necessary]] that any [[influence]] be brought to bear upon the Father to call forth his loving-kindness. The [[creature]]'s need is wholly sufficient to insure the full [[flow]] of the Father's [[Affection|tender]] mercies and his [[Salvation|saving]] [[grace]]. Since [[God]] knows all about his [[children]], it is easy for him to [[forgive]]. The better man [[understands]] his neighbor, the easier it will be to forgive him, even to [[love]] him.
