How do we know that God's mercy is essential for salvation?

Answered in 3 sources

Scripture emphasizes that divine mercy is the foundation for our salvation, as without it, we remain spiritually dead.

The need for God's mercy is evident in the biblical narrative of salvation. According to Matthew 9, every person is spiritually blind and unable to come to Christ without God's enabling grace. The healing of the paralyzed man illustrates our complete inability and the necessity for divine action. Spiritual healing and new life in Christ is only possible through God's mercy, not through our own efforts or merits. Thus, we can be assured that it is God's mercy that ultimately brings us to salvation, as He alone opens our eyes and hearts to the truth of the Gospel.
