What does the Bible say about God's mercy towards sinners?
Answered in 6 sources
The Bible teaches that God's mercy is extended to all sinners, encapsulated in Romans 11:32, where it states, 'God hath concluded them all in unbelief that He might have mercy upon all.'
Romans 11:32 emphasizes God's sovereign grace, indicating that all humanity is concluded under sin so that His mercy can be lavishly poured out. This demonstrates that no one can claim righteousness or goodness before God; we are all in need of His mercy. The preacher underscores that salvation does not come from any ability in ourselves but solely from God's merciful act. We are all sinners, Jew or Gentile, and it is by His mercy alone that any are saved.
