On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Love is his inclination to do us good considered simply as creatures; mercy respects us as apostate and as miserable creatures. Observe, God's eternal love or good-will towards his creatures is the fountain whence all his mercies vouch-safed to us proceed; and that love of God is great love, and that mercy of his is rich mercy, inexpressibly great and inexhaustibly rich.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

God, who is rich--Greek "(as) being rich in mercy." for--that is, "because of His great love." This was the special ground of God's saving us; as "rich in mercy" (compare Eph 2:7; 10:12) was the general ground. "Mercy takes away misery; love confers salvation" [BENGEL].
