Why is God's mercy essential in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's mercy is pivotal because it underscores that salvation is not earned but is a gift granted to the undeserving.

God's mercy is foundational to the doctrine of salvation as it reflects His grace toward sinners who, by nature, do not deserve salvation. Romans 9:15-16 highlights that mercy is not based on human merit but solely on God's will. This mercy is what differentiates the saved from the lost; it is not through works or free will but through divine grace. The cleansing of sin is an act of God's mercy, providing sinners redemption and reconciliation with Him. Therefore, understanding God's mercy fosters gratitude and humility in believers as they recognize their dependence on His unmerited favor.
