How does God's mercy manifest in salvation?

God's mercy is a central theme in the doctrine of salvation, as highlighted in Psalm 98 where it states that God remembers His mercy and truth. This mercy means that God withholds deserved judgment and offers grace to sinners. In Christ, He pours out His mercy by taking upon Himself the penalty for sin that we could never bear. This act of mercy is essential for our understanding of God’s love and justice, demonstrating that He can be both just and merciful, allowing us to be forgiven and made righteous through Christ’s sacrifice.
