How does God demonstrate mercy to sinners according to the sermon?

Answered in 1 source

God offers mercy to sinners by inviting them to come to Christ, who alone has the power to cleanse and restore.

God's mercy is beautifully demonstrated in His invitation to sinners to come to Christ. In the sermon, it is emphasized that the law, which initially reveals our sinfulness and condemns, also sets the stage for the grace that is found in Jesus Christ. The leper’s approach to Jesus exemplifies the way sinners are to approach God—not in self-righteousness, but openly with their need for cleansing. Christ’s willingness to heal the leper symbolizes His readiness to offer mercy to all who recognize their spiritual need, providing reassurance that no one who comes to Him will be turned away. This underscores the fundamental truth that our salvation and cleansing are solely based on His work, not our ability to earn favor.
