How does God display mercy in judgment?

Answered in 1 source

God displays mercy in judgment by using destruction to bring His elect to repentance before it's too late.

In Scripture, God's mercy is intricately tied to His judgment, as seen in the destruction of Tyre. God exercises mercy by humbling the proud and allowing His chosen ones to see their need for Him. While judgment is inevitable, God might choose to bring His elect to repentance in this life, demonstrating His desire for them to recognize their sinfulness and ultimately depend on His grace. Those who are crushed under the weight of their own sin are led to appreciate God's mercy, highlighting the loving providence of God in refining His people even through difficult circumstances.
