In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for His sake God forgives us all our sins. To those who believe in Jesus Christ He gives the power to become the children of God and bestows on them the Holy Spirit.

Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, or a Brief Relation of the Exceeding Mercy of God in Christ to his Poor Servant John Bunyan is a Puritan spiritual autobiography written by John Bunyan.

7 And blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 8 And blessed are all the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 And blessed are all the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. 10 And blessed are all they who are persecuted for my name’s sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Augustine: He pronounces those blessed who succour the wretched, because they are rewarded in being themselves delivered from all misery; as it follows, for they shall obtain mercy. [8] Hilary of Poitiers: So greatly is God pleased with our feelings of benevolence towards all men, that He will bestow His own mercy only on the merciful. [8]
Dives in misericordia (Latin: Rich in Mercy) is the name of the second encyclical written by Pope John Paul II. [1] It is a modern examination of the role of mercy—both God's mercy, and also the need for human mercy—introducing the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son as a central theme. The original text was written in longhand in Polish.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that "[t]he Gospel is the revelation in Jesus Christ of God's mercy to sinners", [6] and that "[t]here are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit". [7]
In the Psalms, examples of God's grace include teaching the Law (Psalm 119:29) [18] and answering prayers (Psalm 27:7). [19] [14] Another example of God's grace appears in Psalm 85, a prayer for restoration, forgiveness, and the grace and mercy of God to bring about new life following the Exile.
In Luke 18:9–14, [1] a self-righteous Pharisee, obsessed by his own virtue, is contrasted with a tax collector who humbly asks God for mercy. This parable primarily shows Jesus teaching that justification can be given by the mercy of God irrespective of the receiver's prior life and that conversely self-righteousness can prohibit being justified.
