How do we know God chooses whom to show mercy?

Answered in 1 source

We know God shows mercy to whom He wills, as stated in Romans and Exodus, highlighting His sovereign grace.

God's sovereign nature is displayed in His choice of whom to show mercy, a truth emphasized in both the Old and New Testaments. In Exodus 33:19, the Lord declares, 'I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.' This principle is reinforced in Romans 9:15-16, where it is emphasized that mercy is not dependent on human will or effort but on God's sovereign decision. Such teachings underline the assurance that salvation is entirely founded upon God's grace rather than man's actions, bringing comfort to believers seeking divine favor. Understanding this doctrine is crucial to grasping the depth of God's love and the security it provides to His elect.
