Mercy is a concept integral to an
understanding of God's dealings with humankind. In English translations of the
Bible, it comes to expression in phrases such as "to be merciful, "
"to have mercy on, " or "to show mercy toward." The
corresponding term, "merciful, " describes a quality of God and one
that God requires of his people. The noun denotes compassion and love, not just
feelings or emotions, as expressed in tangible ways.
Two types of forgiveness appear in the
Bible: God's pardon of our sins, and our obligation to pardon others. This
subject is so important that our eternal destiny depends upon it.

remit (a debt, obligation, etc.).
