God shows His mercy through the sacrifice of Christ, which satisfies His justice and offers forgiveness to believers.
God's mercy is a profound aspect of His character, intertwined with His justice. In Nahum, we see God's anger towards sin, but His mercy is exemplified in how He makes a decisive end to sin for His people. The justice rendered upon Christ means that believers are no longer condemned; their sins are remembered no more (Hebrews 10:17). This demonstrates that while God punishes sin, He also provides a means of restoration through the cross, where Christ bore the wrath meant for His people. God's mercy reassures believers that they are secure in Him, granting them peace and the freedom to serve Him without fear.
