How do we know God has mercy on whom He will?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty in showing mercy is evident in Scripture, confirming His choice based on His will, not human merit.

The sovereignty of God in mercy is articulated in Romans 9:15, where Paul quotes God, stating, 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.' This establishes that God's choice to show mercy is not contingent upon human actions or understanding, but solely upon His divine will. This truth emphasizes that salvation is entirely of grace, consistent with the doctrine of election presented throughout Scripture. In John 19, we see God’s mercy at work, even amidst human rejection and opposition, as He orchestrates the events leading to the ultimate sacrifice of Christ.
