How do we know God's longsuffering is true?

Answered in 2 sources

We know God's longsuffering is true through Scripture's consistent portrayal of His character as patient and merciful towards sinners throughout history (Romans 3:25).

The biblical portrayal of God's longsuffering is supported by numerous Scriptural accounts that illustrate His patience with humanity. For instance, the Old Testament chronicles how, despite the ongoing rebellion of His people, God continuously extended mercy, often reminded of His grace through the mediation of Christ. Romans 3:25 highlights that God's forbearance is crucial for the remission of past sins, confirming His longsuffering nature. Furthermore, historical instances such as God's warnings to the people during Noah's time and the persistent call to repentance given to Israel exhibit God's longsuffering as a hallmark of His dealings with mankind. Thus, the evidence of His longsuffering can be seen through both the narrative of Scripture and individual experiences of grace.
