For he saith to Moses,. will have mercy on whom. have mercy, and. will have compassion on whom. have compassion.

'For he saith to Moses' -'His argument rests on. double assumption; first, that God is truly represented in the Scripture, and, second, the Scripture everywhere represents him as just, holy and perfect'.

***How many people try to claim that God is somehow 'different' from the picture of Him in the Bible?***

'I will have mercy'. Exodus 2:19.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that Paul is here saying, 'God extends mercy to predestinated individuals only'. Such is not the case, because the message that reveals God's mercy is sent out to all. (Matthew 28:19). Even in the O.T., God's mercy did have some conditions (Exodus 2:6). 'Physical lineage' and 'earning' are not the conditions for receiving God's mercy, but 'obedient faith', has always been! (Romans 5:1-2; Romans 1:17)
