Why does God show mercy to sinners?

Answered in 1 source

God shows mercy to sinners because of His nature, which blends justice and compassion.

God's mercy is an intrinsic part of His character and is revealed in His dealings with humanity. In Exodus 34:6-7, God explains that He delights in showing mercy while also being just. The sermon connects God's mercy to His judgement, demonstrating that while sin demands punishment, God provides a substitute in Christ. Thus, through faith, believers receive mercy, not because they deserve it, but because God chooses to extend it according to His gracious nature.
