What does Romans 9 say about God's mercy?

Answered in 1 source

Romans 9 emphasizes that God's mercy is given to whom He wills, not based on human will or effort.

In Romans 9:15-16, it is stated that God will have mercy on whom He will have mercy, which indicates that mercy is entirely under God's sovereign authority. The text asserts that it is not of him who wills or runs, but of God who shows mercy. This highlights the divine initiative in salvation, showcasing God's freedom to extend mercy according to His will and purpose. The concept of mercy in Romans 9 serves to illustrate God's justice and grace, demonstrating that no one can claim a right to it based on their actions, reinforcing the believer's reliance on God's mercy alone for salvation.
