Judgment vs. Mercy.

By John Nevins Andrews

THERE can be no mercy in the Judgment. Its object is to determine and to make known the exact truth with regard to every person. For this purpose God weighs us in his balances. What would balances be good for that would show favor to those who lacked the perfect weight? Whoever neglects or carelessly slights mercy now, because its conditions are too exacting, and flatters himself that he shall find mercy in the day of Judgment, is committing a fatal mistake. That day will reveal just what you are, and if you are found wanting it will be too late to retrieve your dreadful mistake.
