How do we know compassion is important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Compassion is important for Christians as it reflects their understanding of God's mercy towards them, which they are called to share with others.

The significance of compassion in the Christian life is highlighted by the fact that believers have received immense mercy from God. As stated in 1 Peter 3:8, followers of Christ are commanded to show compassion to one another as an expression of the love they have received. The deep understanding of one's own pitiful condition apart from God's grace motivates believers to extend kindness and mercy to others. Thus, compassion becomes a practical expression of their faith, showcasing their transformation and love for fellow human beings.
