When one examines Israel's history, it is easy to see their failure to consistently live for and honor God. Despite this, God keeps allowing them to return. This displays his merciful, loving kindness.
What is even more remarkable is that to a world of people who rejected Him, He sent his son to save. This shows the great mercy and loving kindness of God. We are blessed that God did not give up on us but now sent his Son to die to forgive us and make us sons and daughters of the Most High.
