How does God respond to humility and repentance?

Answered in 1 source

God shows mercy and does not punish those who humble themselves and acknowledge their sins.

In the biblical narrative of Rehoboam, when the leaders humbled themselves before the Lord and acknowledged His righteousness, God chose to show them mercy rather than destruction. Even a wicked king like Rehoboam found favor in God's eyes when he and his princes recognized their wrongdoings and proclaimed the Lord's justice. This underscores a key principle in sovereign grace theology: God is responsive to genuine repentance, regardless of the past, demonstrating that His mercy triumphs over judgment.
