MERCY OR LOVING-KINDNESS
The same Hebrew word is translated sometimes "mercy"
and sometimes "loving-kindness." These two words, therefore, mean precisely the same thing.
Psa 103:8; Deut 4:31; Psa 62:12; Psa 145:8; Psa 86: 15;
Rom 9:15, 18; Deut 7:9; Ex 20:6; Psa 86:5
Doctrinal Statement: God is a God of infinite mercy and tender compassion, especially to those who call upon His name, confess their sin and repent (Psa. 32:10; Psa. 51:1; Psa. 86:5; Rom. 10:12-13; Micah 7:18).

FAITHFULNESS
Deut 7:9; Deut 32:4; Isa 49:7; 1 Cor 1:9; 1 Cor 10:13;
2 Tim 2:13; 1 Thess 5:24; 2 Thess 3:3; 1 Jn 1:9
Doctrinal Statement: The Hebrew root of the words "faithful" and "faithfulness" means to prop, stay, or
support. The intransitive use of the word signifies to stay oneself or be supported; so, the word faithful, applied to a person, means someone you may safely lean on. The Greek word used in the New Testament for "faithful" and "faithfulness" means trustworthy or to be relied upon. God is absolutely faithful to Himself, and His People, but care must be made to distinguish between His unconditional promises and His conditional ones. None of His promises are indiscriminate or frivolous.
