How do we know God's compassion is real?

Answered in 6 sources

God's compassion is demonstrated through His actions, as seen when Jesus expressed compassion for a grieving widow.

God's compassion is a fundamental aspect of His nature, as evidenced in numerous biblical accounts. In Luke 7:13, we see Jesus demonstrating profound compassion for a widow who had lost her only son. His response, 'Weep not,' not only reveals His empathy but also His divine authority to act in mercy. This incident illustrates that God does not remain distant from our suffering; instead, He fully engages with it. The compassion He showed to the widow is a reflection of His larger covenantal love for His people, which He exhibits throughout Scripture, ultimately culminating in the sacrifice of Christ for our sins.
