What was God's response when the thoroughly wicked King Ahab chose to humble himself before God? Ahab found mercy! Pastor Brian Brodersen in his Thru the Bible study in 1 Kings 21-22 and 2 Kings 1 continues by saying that any who humble themselves before God will find mercy too. It is Jesus who said that God didn't send Him to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
