1 answer

The words that accurately describe God's choice to rescue humans from sin include:

  • Loving: This reflects the idea that God's actions are motivated by love for humanity.
  • Merciful: This indicates compassion and forgiveness shown to sinners who do not deserve rescue.
  • Gracious: This highlights the unmerited favor given to humans in the act of salvation.

While "just" can also be associated with God's nature, it does not specifically convey the essence of His choice to rescue in the same way the others do. "Obligatory" and "unrighteous" do not accurately describe God's choice in this context.
