How do we know God's mercy is greater than His wrath?
Answered in 2 sources
We know God's mercy surpasses His wrath because His anger is described as momentary, while His compassion is eternal.
Scriptures affirm that although God’s wrath is real, it is fleeting in comparison to His everlasting mercy. Isaiah 57:16 highlights that God's anger is only for a moment, and He will ultimately provide comfort and healing. The narrative of Scripture consistently presents God's character as one that desires to redeem rather than destroy. His seasons of contention are always accompanied by His promise of restoration and hope, ensuring that those who belong to Him can trust in His kindness prevailing over judgment.
