Psalm 103:10 says, “[God] has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities.” This describes God’s mercy, not getting what we deserve. Verse 12 says, “As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” This shows God’s grace, getting what we don’t deserve. Mercy stops the negative; grace brings the positive. Both demonstrate the God we serve, unlike any other god!
