What is the relationship between faith and God's mercy?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is an expression of God's mercy, granted to those whom He chooses to reveal Himself.

Faith is not something that individuals can conjure through their own efforts; rather, it is a gift from God. The apostle Paul emphasizes that it is the Father who reveals the truth about Christ to those whom He has chosen. This highlights the sovereign grace at work in salvation, where God's mercy extends to certain individuals, enabling them to believe. Understanding faith in this light shifts the focus from human ability to divine election, reassuring believers that their trust in Christ is rooted in God's mercy and purpose.
