God's Love
The love of God is one of the great themes of Scripture and lies at the heart of the Christian understanding of who God is. His love is steadfast, faithful, holy, and undeserved, expressed through His care for creation, His covenant faithfulness, His patience toward sinners, and His desire to restore people to Himself. The fullest revelation of God's love is found in Jesus Christ, whom God sent into the world for humanity's salvation. God's love does not eliminate His holiness or justice; rather, it reveals why He acted at such great cost to rescue those separated from Him by sin.
God's Mercy
The mercy of God is His compassionate response toward people who are sinful, suffering, helpless, and undeserving. Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as "merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love." His mercy is seen in His patience with human rebellion, His willingness to forgive those who repent, and His care for those in distress. The fullest expression of divine mercy is found in Jesus Christ, through whom God offers forgiveness and salvation to people who could never earn it for themselves.
