Mercy: Compassion for the miserable. Its object is misery. By the atoning
sacrifice of Christ a way is open for the exercise of mercy towards
the sons of men, in harmony with the demands of truth and
righteousness
(Genesis 19:19; Exodus 20:6; 34:6,7; Psalms 85:10; 86:15,16) In Christ
mercy and truth meet together. Mercy is also a Christian grace
(Matthew 5:7; 18:33-35)
