How do we know God delights in mercy?

Answered in 1 source

We know God delights in mercy because He reveals it through His word, demonstrating His compassion and faithfulness to forgive those He chooses.

The affirmation that God delights in mercy is rooted in Scripture, particularly in Micah 7:18, which states that He retains not His anger forever because He delighteth in mercy. This delight is not arbitrary but based on God's nature as compassionate and merciful. Furthermore, Jeremiah 9:23-24 elaborates that understanding God's character means recognizing His commitment to lovingkindness and righteousness. It is through the revelation of Himself in Scripture that believers come to know this truth, fostering a deep trust in God’s mercy as an unwavering aspect of His being. The compassionate acts of God towards His people affirm this aspect of His nature, instilling hope and assurance in the hearts of those He has redeemed.
