 The grace of God and the mercy of God are two most precious components you could ever experience in your life. A mercy of God is when God removes what you deserve. A grace of God is when God gives you what you don't deserve. Let me illustrate that to you. When you're driving and you are speeding and you get pulled over and the police officer pulls you over and says you were speeding 15 miles in a school zone with some of you know it's a really big fat ticket. And the police officer says you know what? I am not going to give you a ticket. That is a mercy. But that's not grace. Grace is when the same police officer pulls out a check and gives you $500 check. That is grace. So mercy takes away what I deserve. It cancels my ticket. But the grace gives me what I don't deserve. It gives me a check.
