The Mercy of God

"For the LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them." - Deuteronomy 4:31

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." - Romans 9:15, 16

"It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not." - Lamentations 3:22

“Do you know it was His mercy that woke you up this morning? Because His judgment should’ve killed you last night.” - Voddie Baucham

No one is redeemed except through unmerited mercy, and no one is condemned except through merited judgement." - Augustine

Let’s assume that all men are guilty of sin in the sight of God. From the mass of humanity, God sovereignly decides to give mercy to some of them. What do the rest get? They get justice. The saved get mercy and the unsaved get justice. Nobody gets injustice” - R. C. Sproul

"Is God unfair in not choosing to save everyone? 'Fair' would send everyone to hell. You don't want fair, you want mercy." ~John Macarthur

“Justice is when God gives us what we deserve; Mercy is when He withholds from us what we deserve; Grace when He gives us what we don't deserve.” - Harry L. Reeder III

"There is more mercy in Christ than sin in us." - Richard Sibbes

If I think I am better than my neighbor, or more moral, and therefore, by extension, somehow more deserving, then I have forgotten that it was mercy alone which saved me and mercy alone which keeps me there. Thus the more grounded we are in this knowledge, the easier it is for us to maintain humility among our neighbors, regardless of how depraved we may be tempted to think they are...."
