How does God show mercy according to scripture?

Answered in 1 source

God shows mercy by calling His elect out of their sin and granting them faith in Christ.

The concept of mercy in scripture is central to God's dealings with His people. Romans 9:15 states, 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.' This underscores His sovereign right to extend grace to whom He chooses. Those who respond to His call are recipients of this mercy, allowing them to live in the newness of life through faith in Christ. For believers, recognizing God's mercy cultivates a spirit of gratitude and acknowledgment of their dependence on Him.
