Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of God's mercy. It is shown that the non-specific and legal understanding of the relationship between God and man obscures the personal image of the Father. The merciful God's face is most expressed in the "triumph" of Christ on the cross. Formulated anthropological, soteriological and eschatological principles of faith in God's mercy in the spirit of the Holy Fathers tradition.
