How do we know God is a God of mercy?

Answered in 1 source

God is revealed as a God of mercy through His actions and compassion towards sinners in Scripture.

Throughout the Bible, God is consistently depicted as a God of mercy. In Matthew 12:10-14, Jesus illustrates this by healing a man on the Sabbath, demonstrating that mercy triumphs over legalism. God’s mercy reaches its pinnacle in the act of salvation, where, despite our sinful condition deserving wrath, He extends grace to some, calling them His sheep. This is not merely about legal compliance; it reflects God's character as one who is compassionate and desires to save. Ezekiel 39:25 affirms this when God promises to restore His people, thus highlighting that His divine attributes include not only holiness and justice but also profound mercy.
