How do we know God's sovereignty in mercy is true?

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture emphasizes that God exercises mercy according to His own sovereign will, choosing whom to show mercy to.

The sovereignty of God in dispensing mercy is clearly articulated in Exodus 33:19, where God declares, 'I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.' This statement underscores the reality that mercy cannot be claimed or demanded; it is an act of God's sovereign choice. The apostle Paul reinforces this in Romans 9:18, stating that God has the right to show mercy as He pleases. This concept is foundational in understanding the nature of God's relationship with humanity: He is gracious and merciful, yet His mercy is not granted based on human merit but rather on His divine prerogative. Recognizing God's sovereignty in mercy deepens our appreciation for His grace and the salvation offered through Christ.
