Mercy, in the hands of a righteous and loving God, is to withhold deserved punishment from repentant sinners, and to help and encourage all those who are determined to serve Him more faithfully. David prays: "Have mercy on me O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions." (Psalm 51:1).
Those who like God are merciful to their fellow men and women will receive the same treatment from Him: "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." (Matthew 5:7).
