Romans 3:25 (GW) God showed that Christ is the throne of mercy where God's approval is given through faith in Christ's blood. In his patience God waited to deal with sins committed in the past.
Romans 5:15 (TLB) And what a difference between man’s sin and God’s forgiveness! For this one man, Adam, brought death to many through his sin. But this one man, Jesus Christ, brought forgiveness to many through God’s mercy.
Romans 9:15-16 (NASB) For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION." So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.
2 Corinthians 1:3 (TLB) What a wonderful God we have—he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy. . .
Mercy comes down from heaven to earth so that man by practicing it may resemble God. Giambattista Giraldi (1504-1573) (Draper's Book of Quotations for the Christian World)
