What does the Bible say about mercy and truth?

Answered in 8 sources

The Bible states that 'mercy and truth are met together' in Psalm 85:10, highlighting their harmonious relationship in God's salvation plan.

Psalm 85:10 declares, 'Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.' This verse reflects the profound theological truth that God can exercise mercy without compromising His justice. Mercy and truth come together through the sacrificial work of Christ, where justice is fully satisfied, allowing for mercy to be extended to His people. This union is not merely a meeting but a divine harmony, where God's righteousness is upheld while simultaneously offering peace to sinners.
