What does it mean that God is the God of Jacob?

Answered in 1 source

God being the God of Jacob signifies His mercy towards the worst of sinners, illustrating His grace in salvation.

When Scripture refers to God as the God of Jacob, it emphasizes His willingness to save sinners regardless of their past. Jacob, known for his deceitful character, represents the worst of sinners who are still recipients of God's grace. This illustrates that no one is too far gone or unworthy of God’s mercy. As such, God's election and redemption are based not on human merit but on His infinite grace and mercy towards undeserving individuals.
