What does the Bible say about God's mercy in judgment?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God shows mercy even in judgment by providing a substitute, Jesus Christ, for His elect.

God's mercy is evident throughout the Scriptures, particularly in how He reveals His holiness and justice alongside His grace. In Isaiah 17, while pronouncing judgment upon Damascus, God promises to preserve a remnant of His people, showcasing His mercy in the midst of judgment. This underscores a key theological understanding: while God is righteous and punishes sin, He also offers salvation through Jesus Christ, our substitute, who bore the punishment that God's elect deserved. In this way, God’s mercy is not diminished by His justice; rather, it is fulfilled in Christ's sacrificial death.
