Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. This verse is so famous.

God is always merciful. His mercy will never end. We were dead spiritually and without mercy, there is no way we can have a chance to be in a relationship with God again. *We show mercy as  a testimony of God's grace to us.
