How does God show His mercy to unworthy people?

Answered in 1 source

God shows His mercy by choosing some individuals to receive grace despite their unworthiness, as demonstrated in Noah's story.

God's mercy is a profound theme throughout Scripture and is especially highlighted in Noah's experience. In Genesis 6:8, it states, 'But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.' This declaration of grace shows that mercy is not granted based on worthiness or personal righteousness but according to God's sovereign will and purpose. Despite the pervasive wickedness surrounding Noah, God chose to extend mercy to him and his family, illustrating His grace in the face of sin. Likewise, in Ephesians 2:4-5, we are reminded that God, being rich in mercy, made us alive together with Christ, even when we were dead in our transgressions. It is through His sovereign choice that some are saved, emphasizing His authority and love in the process of redemption.
