How do we know that mercy is available to sinners?

The Bible assures us that despite our sinfulness, God is gracious and extends mercy through Jesus Christ. The concept of mercy involves God treating us not as our sins deserve but granting us favor and forgiveness instead. This is evident in John 3:16, which tells us that God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Thus, we can approach the throne of grace confidently, knowing that it is a place of mercy for all who call upon Christ for salvation. It’s through His redemptive work that we can be assured of mercy, regardless of our past failures.
