God's sovereignty in mercy is evidenced through His deliberate choice to forgive and bestow grace upon His elect.
The concept of God's sovereign mercy is emphasized in the understanding that He passes over transgressions as described in Micah 7:18. The remnant of God's people are those chosen according to grace, highlighting that God's mercy is not randomly bestowed but is intentional and sovereign. This sovereign act involves God's decision to impute the sins of His people onto Christ, affirming His ultimate control over salvation and grace. All acts of mercy are predicated upon His will, further comforted by the promise that His covenant with Abraham secures mercy through the generations, emphasizing that God's redemptive plan is grand and purposeful.
