God's attributes are revealed through scripture and demonstrated in His dealings with humanity, affirming His character as merciful and just.
The truth of God's attributes is affirmed in scripture, where He reveals Himself as 'merciful, gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth' (Exodus 34:6). Throughout the Bible, we see examples of how God's mercy is extended, as in His forgiveness of sins, and His justice is upheld in His dealings with the wicked. The duality of His goodness and severity reflects His character, as seen in various narratives from the creation to the cross. Thus, our understanding of God’s attributes is not only a theological exercise but is grounded in the narrative of His faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises.
