MERCY Luke 1:54-55

"He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors."

He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful  to Abraham and his descendants forever
Psalm 98:3  He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

just as he promised our ancestors 
Galatians 3:16  The promises were spoken to Abraham and his seed. Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ.
Genesis 22:15-18  The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, "I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."
