Nevertheless, he saved them for his name’s sake - For the promotion of his own honor and glory; that it might be seen that he is powerful and merciful. This is constantly given as the reason why God saves people; why he forgives sin; why he redeems the soul; why he delivers from danger and from death. Compare Ezekiel 36:22, Ezekiel 36:32; Isaiah 37:35; Isaiah 43:25; Isaiah 48:9; Jeremiah 14:7; Psalms 6:4; Psalms 23:3; Psalms 25:11; Psalms 31:16; Psalms 44:26. This is the highest reason which can be assigned for pardoning and saving sinners. That he might make his mighty power to be known - Exodus 9:16.
