How do we know God's mercy is available to everyone?

Answered in 4 sources

God's mercy is demonstrated through His willingness to forgive all who repent and believe, as illustrated in the story of Jonah and Nineveh.

The narrative of Jonah and the Ninevites powerfully illustrates the availability of God's mercy to all who turn to Him in repentance. Despite being a nation known for its cruelty and evil, the king and the people of Nineveh humbly called out to God, hoping for His mercy. Their desperate plea highlights that God's grace is extended to those who may feel least deserving. As we read in Ephesians 2:4-5, 'But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.' This shows that the scope of God’s mercy knows no bounds, calling everyone, regardless of their past, to seek His forgiveness.
