How do we know God's desire for mercy is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's desire for mercy is affirmed repeatedly in Scripture, highlighting His reluctance to condemn the wicked and His call for them to turn and live (Ezekiel 33:11).

The Scriptures consistently portray God as a merciful and gracious figure, as seen in Ezekiel 33:11 where He openly states that He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. This declaration underscores His character; instead of desiring the damnation of sinners, God passionately calls them to repentance. The countless moments of patience and grace shown throughout biblical history affirm that God's inclination is towards life and redemption, signifying His heart for mercy. Hence, the narrative of Scripture serves as strong corroboration of God's desire to save rather than to condemn.
