How do we know God's mercy and forgiveness are available to us?
Answered in 1 source
God's mercy and forgiveness are available to all who sincerely call upon His name, as He is abundant in mercy and ready to pardon.
In Daniel 9, the assurance of God's mercy and forgiveness is rooted in His character as described throughout Scripture. Verse 9 states, 'To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses,' emphasizing that He is not only a just judge but also a loving Father who desires to forgive those who come to Him in sincerity. The Bible teaches that no matter how grievous our sins may be, if we truly seek the Lord and confess our transgressions, we can rest assured that He will show mercy. This reflects the promise we find in Romans 10:13: 'For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
