How do we know God's mercy is available to all people?

The Scripture affirms that the depth of God's mercy is available to both Jews and Gentiles. In Romans 11:32, Paul writes that God has conferred all to disobedience so that He may have mercy upon all. This means that through both unbelief and faith, God orchestrates His plan of salvation that incorporates His mercy. God's election is not limited to ethnicity, but extends to all who believe in Jesus Christ. This unmerited favor is key to sovereign grace theology, where it is acknowledged that God's mercy is not a response to human effort but is given freely to all who come to Him in faith.
