    Episode 13: The Mercy of God

    Small Whisper: A Podcast of Christian Belief The Mercy of God Mercy is kindness expressed in action toward someone who has committed an offense, an enemy, or someone otherwise within a person’s power. Mercy involves a differential of power or authority - the individual showing mercy is not obligated to show kindness or compassion, but provides a rescue, a relief, a way out of a situation that is causing misery, distress, or threat of harm or destruction. Psalm 107 “Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, And he delivered them from their distress.” (ESV) Mercy is a major theme across the Old Testament. From earliest times, God reveals that he is merciful. Exodus 33:18-19 Exodus 34:6-7 Deuteronomy 4:29-31 Titus 3:1-7 goodness, lovingkindness, mercy, grace Ephesian 2:1-10 God is rich in mercy Matthew 9:10-13 Luke 6:35-36 Psalm 103:8-17 ~~~~~~ Show website: https://smallwhisper.alitu.com ~~~~~~ Unless otherwise noted, scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

    Episode 12: The Goodness of God

    Small Whisper: A Podcast of Christian Belief The Goodness of God The apparent conflict between God’s holiness and God’s love is not real. God is holy, and God is loving. God’s love arises out of his holiness. While God is ethically holy and righteous, most references in Scripture to his goodness refer to his kindness, generosity, and love. Genesis 50:20 Psalm 145:9,15-17 Psalm 65:9-13 Acts 14:17 Romans 2:4 James 1:17 Common grace is God’s ongoing favor toward all people. Matthew 5:44-46 Love and pray for your enemies. This is how his children imitate the Father’s goodness Psalm 36:7-9. ~~~~~~ Show website: https://smallwhisper.alitu.com ~~~~~~ Unless otherwise noted, scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

    Episode 11: God is Holy

    Small Whisper: A Podcast of Christian Belief God is Holy Isaiah 6:1-7 The root words for “holy” mean to cut or to separate. Majestic Holiness God is separate and absolutely distinct from everything in his creation. 1 Timothy 1:16: unapproachable light God is “wholly other.” This aspect of God’s holiness is also called “majestic holiness” and “transcendent majesty”. Exodus 15:11 1 Samuel 2:2 God’s holiness is not an isolated attribute - his holiness extends to all of his other attributes. His love is holy love, unlike any other love; his mercy is holy mercy, and so on. The human response to God’s holiness is predictable. Exodus 3:6 Isiaiah 6:5 God’s ethical holiness His ethical holiness is an outflow of his nature His holiness is manifested in his works and his word. Genesis 1:31 Psalm 19:7-9 God hates and opposes all evil and impurity. Psalm 5:4 Habakkuk 1:13 Holiness is not an abstract concept, but is personified in a personal being, the Holy One. Call to be holy. Leviticus 11:44 1 Peter 1:16 The Holy One is in our midst Isaiah 12:6 Hosea 11:9 He calls us to be his obedient children, a royal and holy priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, called out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 1:14, 2:5, 2:9-10 Isaiah 57:15 ~~~~~~ Show website: https://smallwhisper.alitu.com ~~~~~~ Unless otherwise noted, scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
