The Mercy of God

Another Baptist distinctive which existed long before the Reformation. Baptists, or Anabaptists as they were incorrectly called back then, have stood for such doctrinal trues since their establishment by Christ during His earthly ministry. God's mercy is distinguished as a general mercy to all creation, God's mercy upon all people, and God's mercy in particular bestowed upon His elect. How thankful our hearts should be to receive the sovereign saving mercy of God!
