God showed mercy toward sinners in that he became sin for us.
mercy is a huge part of my theology
without it I haven't got a chance
so many think we earn our salvation
where did that come from?
we don't teach that
we don't believe that
so
why don't they believe us?

Grace saves the lost but when God gives mercy it's because of how pathetic we are in and of ourselves.
No. It's because God has chosen them in Christ before the foundation of the world to be His Adopted Sons! Eph. 1:4-11.
It has nothing to do with what they are of themselves. But only with regard to His Purpose of Election.
They are saved by His Mercy and Grace alone! 2 Tim. 1:9

Roman Catholicism does not teach Election by Grace Eph. 1:4-11 as the Bible does.
But, instead they do teach that if you follow all the mandates, and partake
of all the sacraments of that said church that you will be saved.
Or the worst is that you will end up in purgatory and will be prayed out of it
by the indulgences [money] paid for on your behalf of loved ones who made
a monetary contribution to that said church who promised to pray you out of it.
Just another antichrist religious sect!

Mercy is gettin what I need (desperately).
Grace is gettin what I didn't deserve.
This would indicate to me that mercy is something God wants FROM us, toward others. And like forgiveness, is something we then receive, in turn.Hosea 6:6
"For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings."
why then do christians continue to pray
lord have mercy on me
