Many Christians are convinced that obtaining mercy and compassion from God requires a decision to follow Jesus. Yet above, God clearly says His compassion and mercy is NOT dependent on "the man who wills” , or how a man chooses to live his life. God's mercy and compassion is dictated by who God is and what He wants.
“For God has shut up all in disobedience so THAT HE MAY SHOW MERCY TO ALL. Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to him again? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.” (Romans 11:32-36)
Did you get that? "mercy to ALL"! Not just members of churches.
"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning." (Lamentations 3:22-23)
