It was through the Fall and men being made sinners Rom 5:12 that God purposed to make known the riches of His Glory on the vessels of His Mercy Rom 9:23
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
God purposed the fall of His Own Elect in Adam, His Children Chosen In Union with Christ, their Covenant Head and Surety Heb. 7:22 before the foundation of the world Eph. 1:4-5, so that He might lavish upon them His Mercy Ps. 103:17 which was from Everlasting !
These Vessels of Mercy Rom. 9:23 are the only portion of humanity whom God Loved and Purposed to Save from sin; For them He is Rich in Mercy:
Eph. 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us
These Vessels of Mercy are the Seed of Christ Is. 53:10; the Heritage of God.
Micah 7:18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
