How does God's mercy manifest in Christ?

The full manifestation of God's mercy is realized through Christ. As described in Titus 3:5, it is not by our works that we are saved but according to His mercy, which regenerates and renews us through the Holy Spirit. Christ's sacrificial death acts as a propitiation, reconciling us to God and allowing us to experience His mercy fully. The abundant mercies we receive in Christ assure us of our status as His redeemed people, enabling us to approach God with confidence and joy. Thus, the entirety of God's merciful acts can be understood through the lens of Christ's atoning work.
