How do God's judgments relate to His mercy?

Answered in 1 source

God's judgments serve to highlight His mercy and bring about repentance.

Throughout the plagues, including the plague of frogs, we observe that God's judgments serve a dual purpose. They are a demonstration of His sovereign authority over creation and the false idols of Egypt. However, for God's people, these judgments also reveal His mercy. The plagues, while a source of judgment for the Egyptians, ultimately lead Israel to recognize God’s favor and deliverance. As the sermon points out, it is not the judgment that leads to repentance but rather the goodness, grace, and mercy of God that brings about true change in the hearts of His people.
