How does God's mercy relate to His wrath?

Answered in 2 sources

God's mercy is often demonstrated in contrast to His wrath, showcasing His grace in saving sinners from deserved punishment.

In Romans 9, Paul articulates that God's mercy and wrath coexist closely. He illustrates this through the narrative of Israel's deliverance from Egypt, where God showed mercy to His chosen people while simultaneously hardening Pharaoh's heart (Romans 9:17-18). This duality emphasizes the seriousness of sin and God's justice while also highlighting His compassion towards the undeserving. Ultimately, God's mercy is provided through Christ, who bears the wrath of sin on behalf of believers, enabling them to escape judgment and receive life.
