God can also destroy or punish those who have lost His favor or mercy.
Romans 1:18
King David was rebuked by God unto correction.
He suffered the betrayal of right hand man (Aithophael), the betrayal of a son (Absalom), the disgrace of his concubines openly assaulted in broad day light, his eldest son (Amnon) having carnal knowledge of his half sister (Tamar) and the loss of a child that was the product of his adulterous affair.
These all happened as a result of the Lord's rebuke.
But due to God's mercy to David it was all for David's correction.
When God rebukes in His mercy it will work out to correct you and make you better even if it takes you through a process.
God can give up on people.
Grace is not equal.
If the grace of God runs out on a life the Lord's rebuke will lead to death.
Our aim should always be to stay obedient to God.
In the place of obedience, God's grace and mercy covers us.
Obedience attracts God's mercy.
Mercy takes away from us the repercussion of what we deserve.
Mercy is a superior spiritual law God releases that silences judgement.
James 2:13
The mercy of God turns the rebuke of the Lord into a process of correction for you and not death.
Mercy is found in God's presence.

In the place of prayer we find grace and mercy.
