How do we know God is gracious and merciful?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace and mercy are evident in His willingness to give good gifts to those who ask, as highlighted in Matthew 7:11.

In Matthew 7, Jesus reassures us of God's gracious nature by comparing it to human parental instincts. He asserts that if even flawed human beings know how to provide for their children, how much more will our heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask Him (Matthew 7:11). This reflects the heart of our God—overflowing with mercy and generosity toward His children. Additionally, phrases such as 'how much more' emphasize the abundant nature of God's grace. The Apostle Paul further elucidates this in Romans 5:20, stating that where sin abounded, grace did much more abound, underscoring that God’s grace far exceeds our sinfulness.
