A God Who Shows Mercy
Upon coming to UNT, I was certainly happy to
find other Christians pursuing the Lord. When I came to UNT, I joined a
fraternity and the soccer team. But the most valuable thing to me in my
college experience has been the relationship I have developed in
Christians Students. These relationships are surely life long, even
eternal.
As a seeker of the Lord, I was hoping to find a group of Christians who
believed the fundamental truths of the Bible. I was set at ease to
discover that Christian Students gives special attention to these
fundamental truths and that they care for the complete revelation in the
Bible. Also, I was happy to know that a bunch of Christians desired to
grow in their love for Jesus. They’re not just seeking of the Bible in
it’s knowledge but the Bible in it’s experience of the Lord Himself and
that experience is becoming my fullest joy I have ever known. In saying
this, it may sound that we are extremely spiritual and never get
discouraged. However, fact of the matter is that we strongly need the
Lord’s mercy to carry us on in the Christian faith. According to Romans
9:16, our gaining of Him as believers is not because we are choosing Him
nor because we are pursuing Him but because God shows mercy.
I can honestly say that I am being shown His mercy and I can see His
mercy working in the lives of others, including those in Christian
Students. Seeking the Lord with them has greatly enriched my college
experience.
