Bible Study Pharaoh and the hardening of hearts.

Ernest T. Bass said:
Verse 15 does not give a basis as to why God has mercy upon one and not another. Just because no basis is given in the verse does not mean there is no basis at all. We can learn from other verses that basis is obedience to God's will Jer 18:8-10.

God showed mercy towards mankind (giving man a plan whereby men are saved through Christ) and not because of any willing or running that man has done. But to be saved by this plan of salvation does requires man's willing (Jn 7:17; Rev 22:17) and running (1 Cor 9:24; Heb 12:1)
