How do we know God's mercy is available to sinners?
Answered in 8 sources
God's mercy is assured through His promise in Scripture, where it states He delights in granting mercy to those who seek it earnestly.
Scripture consistently affirms that God's mercy is available to sinners who come to Him with a genuine need for forgiveness. Micah 7:18 underscores this, revealing that God delights in showing mercy, while Psalm 103:17 articulates that His mercy endures forever upon those who fear Him. This assurance is pivotal within sovereign grace theology—it highlights that true repentance and recognition of one's helplessness must precede receiving God's mercy. Just as the lepers turned to the Syrians for aid, sinners are called to turn to God, trusting in His unfailing compassion and grace to satisfy their spiritual needs.
