How do we know God's mercy is unconditional?

Answered in 9 sources

God's mercy is illustrated in the story of the Samaritans, who received help despite their sin, reflecting that His grace operates independently of human merit.

The account of the starving Samaritans provides a clear example of God's unconditional mercy. Even while the Israelites had turned their backs on Him and worshiped idols, God acted on their behalf, sending relief through the unsuspecting Syrians. This reflects the biblical principle that mercy is not based on merit but on God's sovereign choice to have compassion. Romans 9:15 states, 'I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,' underscoring that divine grace is bestowed according to God's will rather than human deserving, demonstrating the depth of His love and grace even towards the unrepentant.
