What does the Bible say about faith obtaining mercy?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that faith, particularly God-given faith, is essential for obtaining mercy from God.

The concept that faith obtains mercy is illustrated in the story of Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52. Bartimaeus, a blind man, recognized his need for mercy and called out to Jesus, acknowledging Him as the Son of David. His faith moved Jesus to stop and respond to him. This narrative underscores that true faith, which is a gift from God, leads to salvation and mercy, as seen when Jesus tells Bartimaeus, 'Go your way; your faith has made you well.' This emphasizes that it is not through our works or merit that we secure God's favor, but through faith in Christ, who alone grants mercy to the sinner.
