Scripture reveals God's compassionate nature as He sees and hears the affliction of His people, promising deliverance.
The compassion of God is evident throughout Scripture, notably in Exodus 3:7-8, where God tells Moses that He has seen the suffering of the Israelites, heard their cries, and is determined to deliver them. This reveals that God is not only sovereign but also deeply cares for His people and their cries for help. His introduction as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob reflects His ongoing commitment to His covenant promises. God’s nature is consistently portrayed as both powerful and compassionate; He acts in history to save and deliver His people from oppression, ensuring that they know He is always with them, understanding their sufferings.
