How does God show mercy to His anointed?

Answered in 1 source

God's mercy to His anointed, Jesus Christ, extends to all who are united with Him by faith.

The concept of mercy as stated in 2 Samuel 22:51 reveals that God shows mercy not only to His anointed, which refers to Christ, but also to His 'seed.' This signifies that mercy is both a characteristic of God's nature and a gift bestowed upon those who are united with Christ. In Galatians 3:16, it is emphasized that this mercy flows from one's relationship with the 'seed,' Christ Himself. Therefore, the eternal mercy granted to God's anointed includes all believers, who are made partakers of this divine mercy through faith and union with Christ, underscoring the covenantal nature of God's promises.
