How do we know God is compassionate despite our sin?
Answered in 1 source
God's compassion is evident in Lamentations 3:22-23, which states His mercies are new every morning, assuring us of His constant love and forgiveness.
Despite the harsh realities of sin and affliction, Lamentations 3 delivers a powerful message of hope rooted in God's compassion. Jeremiah writes, 'It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.' This declaration affirms that God remains faithful and compassionate, even as He guides His people through trials. The acknowledgment of one's sinfulness served by God's chastening leads not to despair but rather to a deeper understanding of His merciful nature, which continually offers forgiveness and renewal.
