The verses I was referring to are:
Soteriology seems to be a series of cases in which God demonstrates His long-suffering nature and patience with dealing with the sinfulness of man. The first example given is God speaking to Adam. Despite the fact Adam has transgressed the only commandment of God, God still considers Adam part of His flock and does not wish him to suffer deprivation. The entirety of soteriology is strictly for man - God had no need to redeem or forgive mankind, but He did it so man would not eternally suffer in separation. Whether we are cast down by trial or our own sin, God is still ready to assist us just as he assisted Job who had remained steadfast despite constant trial and faithful Hannah whom He blessed with a very important prophet as her child. Even though Simon doubted Him after He gave him the ability to walk on water, He saved Him from drowning nonetheless as He continues to save us from drowning despite our faithlessness.
God in whom is woven abundant and eternal mercy, look upon us with a cheerful face and merciful eyes. Come to me and let me be reconciled to You. The Lord said to Adam, “I do not wish that the sheep which the Evil One has ensnared should be deprived of me.”O He who restored our father, Adam and the watchers rejoiced in his restitution, restore us to penitence and may the watchers and angels rejoice. O He who rose Job the righteous man from the ash-heap, raise us from the fall of sin and have mercy on us.O He who gave Samuel to Hannah and removed from her her sadness, remove distress and sadness from the worshippers of the cross. O He who stretched His hand out to Simon and drew him out from the tides, stretch out Your hand of mercy to us and draw us out from evils.
Our Lord, accept our service, our prayers, come to our aid and have mercy on us!
