How do we know God's discriminating mercy is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's discriminating mercy is confirmed by historical accounts of His dealings with people in the Bible, particularly the healing of outcasts and sinners.

The truth of God’s discriminating mercy is manifested in the biblical narrative, where instances like the healing of Naaman highlight how God chooses to extend His grace to individuals who, by societal standards, were deemed unworthy. Despite the many lepers and widows in Israel during Elijah's ministry, the Lord directed mercy towards a Gentile widow and Naaman, a Syrian general. This not only illustrates God's sovereign choice but also affirms His providential grace that reaches those outside of what might be traditionally viewed as deserving. Discriminating mercy reflects the heart of the gospel, pointing towards the reality that salvation is not based on human merit but on God's sovereign will.
