How do we know God's attributes like mercy and justice are true?
Answered in 1 source
God's attributes are affirmed by His actions and proclamations throughout Scripture, especially in Exodus 34.
In Exodus 34, God explicitly declares His attributes that include being merciful, gracious, and just. His consistent actions throughout biblical history, such as forgiving Israel while also addressing their sins, demonstrate that His nature includes a perfect balance of mercy and justice. This accordance between His character and His dealings with humanity provides a foundation for understanding and trusting in God’s promises. Furthermore, passages such as Psalm 85:10 and Romans 3:26 highlight that God's justice does not negate His mercy.
