God's mercy endures forever as an eternal promise, reinforced by His goodness and the sacrificial work of Christ.
The assertion that 'His mercy endureth forever' is a fundamental truth found throughout Scripture, exemplified in Psalm 118. This enduring nature of mercy highlights God's unchanging character; because He is good, all that He does—including His act of mercy—remains eternally fixed and unwavering. The New Testament reinforces this with the assurance that through Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection, believers experience the ultimate expression of mercy. Thus, God's mercy is not contingent on human performance but is a divine promise that guarantees compassion for His elect eternally.
