How do we know God's mercy is still present today?

Answered in 1 source

God's mercy continues today as evidenced by the existence of a remnant who believe in Christ, chosen according to His grace.

The concept of God’s mercy is intricately linked to His promise to preserve a faithful remnant. In Romans 11:5, Paul asserts that 'even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.' This truth is mirrored in the Old Testament as seen in Isaiah when God speaks of gleaning grapes—a remnant of His people preserved amidst widespread judgment. The presence of believers who trust in Christ signifies that God’s mercy has not ceased. Despite the moral decline in cultures, the ongoing witness of His church and the fulfilled prophecy of the elect being called point to God's steadfast mercy that extends through time. His commitment to His covenant people is illustrated throughout Scripture, assuring us that as long as God’s gospel is preached, His mercy is actively saving lives today.
