God shows mercy to believers through the grace provided in Jesus Christ, as their Savior and Redeemer.
God’s mercy toward believers is vividly illustrated in His covenant love and grace, particularly through Christ's sacrificial work. In Ephesians 2:4-5, it states, 'But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.' This mercy means that despite our sinful condition, God chooses to extend forgiveness rather than judgment. Believers experience this mercy through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the continual provision of grace, which empowers them for godliness and assurance of eternal life. God's mercy is a transformative force, renewing us daily.
