Thinking this
morning: in the old testament we hear of God's chesed,
His love and mercy, mercy being NOT getting what we deserve –
which is His judgment for our sin against Him. He made a provision, a
covering, a temporary fix to our sin problem. In the new testament
we find His grace, His charis – getting what we don't deserve,
which is His forgiveness – His sufficiency in restoring us to right
relationship with Him. They are like two sides of a coin – where
love is the common thread and binds them together. God's love
has never changed and has always been present.
