How does God choose who receives mercy?

Answered in 1 source

God chooses those who receive mercy according to His sovereign will and purpose, not based on human merit (Romans 9:15).

God's choice to show mercy is rooted in His sovereign will. In Romans 9:15, Paul quotes God, saying, 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.' This demonstrates that God's decisions are not influenced by human actions or worthiness but are part of His divine plan. This principle establishes that salvation is purely an act of grace, whereby God sovereignly elects individuals to salvation, highlighting His glory and the unconditional nature of His love.
