How do we know God's merciful kindness is true?

Answered in 2 sources

God's merciful kindness is evident through His perpetual love and faithfulness, as seen throughout scripture.

The truth of God’s merciful kindness is substantiated in the scripture, as it speaks of His faithful love toward His people. Psalm 119:88 states, 'quicken me after thy loving kindness,' illustrating that God's kindness is not only merciful but is foundational to our spiritual life and sustenance. Additionally, Jeremiah 31:3 declares, 'I have loved thee with an everlasting love,' which affirms that God’s love does not wane or falter.

In the context of reformed theology, we understand this kindness to be part of God’s covenantal love towards His elect, who experience this kindness in a profound and saving way. By examining biblical narratives and promises throughout scripture, we witness God’s unwavering commitment to His people, reinforcing the trustworthiness of His merciful character. Hence, God’s kindness is not static but active, continuously demonstrated through His providential dealings in our lives.
