Mercy

Mercy has to do with an inner feeling of empathy or love, which is expressed in deeds. Mercy can be ascribed to God as well as human beings.

  • In the Old Testament  mercy is the love of God for people or love between people, which is brought to expression in deeds.
  • The concept of “mercy” is put in a new light in the New Testament. Here, the mercy of God means primarilyfirstly, that he saves people through Jesus Christ.
