THE LORD IS GOOD AND HIS MERCY AND LOVING-KINDNESS ENDURE FOREVER
Will the Lord cast off forever? Will He be favorable no more? Have His mercy and loving-kindness ceased forever? Have His promises ended for all time? Has God abdandoned or forgotten His graciousness? Has He in anger shut up His compassion? Selah. (Ps 77:7-9)
He will not always chide or be contending, neither will He keep His anger for ever or hold a grudge. He is not dealing with us according to our sins nor rewarding us according to our iniquities (Psalm 103:9-10).
Only those who are cruel (ruthless and inhuman) have no mercy (Jeremiah 6:23).
For in You, O Lord, the fatherless find love, pity and mercy. You will heal their faithlessness; You will love them freely, for Your anger is turned away (Hosea 14:4).
Who is a God like You, Who forgives iniquity and passes over transgression... ? He retains not His anger for ever, because He delights in mercy and loving-kindness. He will again have compassion on us; He will subdue and tread underfoot our iniquities. He will cast all sins into the depths of the sea. (Micah 7:18-19)
For with the Lord there is mercy and loving-kindness, and with Him is plenteous redemption (Ps 130:7).
The earth is full of His mercy (Ps 119:64)
His mercy is everlasting (Ps 100:5).
2 Chronicles 5:13 -
"And when the trumpeters and singers were joined IN UNISON, making ONE SOUND to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and other instruments for song and praise the Lord, saying, FOR HE IS GOOD, FOR HIS MERCY AND LOVING-KINDNESS ENDURE FOREVER, then the house of the Lord was filled with a cloud. So that the priests could not stand to mininster because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God."

-- THE EXAMPLE OF PAUL
Paul said he obtained mercy, that in him, as the foremost of sinners, Jesus Christ might show forth and display all His perfect longsuffering and patience for an example to those who would thereafter believe on Him for eternal life. (1 Timothy 1:16)
Paul said that he blasphemed and persecuted and was shamefully and outrageously and aggressively insulting to Jesus. Nevertheless, he had obtained mercy because he had acted out of ignorance in unbelief. (1 Tim 1:13)
Jesus asked the Father to forgive His enemies, for they knew not what they did (Luke 23:24). They acted out of ignorance in unbelief, just like Paul. Therefore, they shall obtain mercy, just like Paul.
And, just like Paul, the grace of the Lord will flow out suberabundantly and beyond measure to them, accompanied by the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. (1 Tim 1:14)
And they, too, will say with Paul... "The saying is sure and true and worthy of full and universal acceptance, that Christ Jesus the Messiah came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am foremost." (1 Tim 1:15)
And with Paul, I too say, "Now to the King of eternity, incorruptible and immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever (to the ages of ages). Amen, so be it." (1 Tim 1:17)
