How does God's mercy manifest in times of judgment?

Answered in 1 source

God's mercy manifests in His call to repentance and the restoration offered to those who turn back to Him.

Even amid judgment, the essence of God's character is mercy. In Joel's prophecies, although the people faced deserved punishment for their sins, God's invitation to repentance demonstrates His compassion. He commands His people to turn to Him with fasting and weeping, showing that He is willing to forgive and restore those who sincerely seek Him (Joel 2:12-14). This principle is foundational in Scripture, where God reveals Himself as gracious and merciful, slow to anger, delighting in redemption rather than destruction. Ultimately, God's mercy is fully realized through Christ, who bore the wrath of God, allowing believers to be restored into a right relationship with Him.
