How does God show mercy to His elect?

God's mercy towards His elect is a profound and transformative aspect of His character. In the sermon, we see a vivid example of God’s intervention in the life of Abimelech, who, out of ignorance, took Sarah as his own. Instead of leaving him in his sin, God graciously intervenes, warning him through a dream and calling him to restoration. This depicts how God does not abandon His elect; rather, He pursues them with truth and grace. The revelation of the Gospel to each believer is another manifestation of this mercy, as it enlightens our understanding and moves us from spiritual death to life. In 1 Peter 1:13-14, we are reminded of how we are called to be obedient children, illustrating that God's mercy also prompts a response from us in living a life consistent with our calling as His redeemed.
