The Benefits of Discipleship
Matt 5:7
Think
Mercy is define as compassion shown towards another especially an offender.
People who help others are healthier and live longer.
That was one of the conclusions of a team headed by Stephen G. Post, professor of bioethics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, which evaluated fifty scientific studies of volunteers.
One of the studies, from Cornell University, spent thirty years following 427 women who were married and had children.
Researchers found that only 36 percent of women who regularly volunteered had experienced a major illness, while 52 percent of those who never volunteered had a major illness.
Other studies indicated that those who volunteered their time lived longer than those who didn’t.
Frequent volunteers had a 44 percent reduction in early death when compared to nonvolunteers.

Scientists also identified precise areas of the brain that are highly active during empathetic and compassionate emotions.
“These brain studies show this profound state of joy and delight that comes from giving to others,” Post said.
“It doesn’t come from any dry action — where the act is out of duty in the narrowest sense, like writing a check for a good cause.
It comes from working to cultivate a generous quality — from interacting with people.
There is the smile, the tone in the voice, the touch on the shoulder.
We’re talking about altruistic love.”

There are so many benefits to performing acts of mercy or (compassion), but it has to be deliberate.
This is not something we do naturally.

ps 51:
rom 7
How do we do this good, how do we practice the compassion that Christ had?
gal
gal 5:19-21
None these things has anything to do with mercy and love.
This is who we are without God dwelling within.
:19-21
But when He is allowed to enter our lives
gal 5:22-
Know
Just like we cannot save ourselves, we cannot have mercy without Christ.
rom 8:
If Christ is in you?
You will love your neighbor
you will go the extra mile
you will fill in at church without being asked
You will be his hands and feet
Mercy is defined as active compassion
acts 9:3
They all knew her acts of compassion because they were wearing them.
The merciful are those who manifest compassion to the poor, the suffering, and the oppressed.
Job declares, “I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.”
.. Mount of Blessing 22.4
We are here to manifest God’s love to those who need it the most.
What Peter did was not just for Dorcas but for the community at large that was affected.
You don’t know the good you are doing.
What we today call Adventist community service was originally called Dorcas.
when Peter said Tabitha Arise, she obtained mercy.
What is your witness?
Does is consist of giving tithe each week?
Do you say it’s my life?
How are you actively showing God’s love?
Do
what is the will of God?

Submitting to God
James
In order for us to obtain the mercies of heaven, it will require those of heaven to dwell in and around each and everyone of us.
Mercy is an attribute that the human agent may share with God.
As did Christ, so man may lay hold on the divine arm and be in communication with divine power.
To us has been given a service of mercy to perform for our fellow man.
In performing this service, we are laboring together with God.
We do well, then, to be merciful, even as our Father in heaven is merciful.
Let those who desire to perfect a Christlike character ever keep in view the cross on which Christ died a cruel death in order to redeem mankind.
Let them ever cherish the same merciful spirit that led the Saviour to make an infinite sacrifice for our redemption.…1
White, E. G. (1967).
In Heavenly Places (p.
238).
I can of myself do nothing
I do not seek my own will
But the will of the Father who sends me
“I will have mercy,” God says, “and not sacrifice” ().
Mercy is kind, pitiful.
Mercy and the love of God purify the soul, beautify the heart, and cleanse the life from selfishness.
