How do we know God's mercy is for shameful sinners?

Answered in 1 source

God's mercy for shameful sinners is guaranteed through the everlasting covenant made in Christ, emphasizing His love and compassion.

God's mercy is beautifully illustrated through the covenant of grace, which assures that even the most shameful among us can receive forgiveness and love. Mephibosheth's plea for mercy reveals his deep awareness of his unworthiness, paralleling the way we might approach God with our sins. Through Christ's sacrifice, we see that this mercy is not only available but is powerfully effective; He became a curse for us, bearing our shame and sin. Thus, our assurance lies in the truth that if we are in Christ, we are no longer viewed by God through the lens of our shame but through the righteousness of Christ.
