God's promise of mercy is true as it is grounded in His immutable nature and revealed throughout Scripture.
The assurance of God's promise of mercy is secured in His immutable nature. Since God is unchanging, His declarations of mercy towards sinners are reliable and steadfast. Throughout the Bible, we see countless instances where God has fulfilled His promises, showing His commitment to righteousness and mercy. For example, His name as the mercy-giver reflects His purpose and mission to redeem and restore. Additionally, as highlighted in Matthew 1:21, Jesus' very name signifies His role as the Savior, assuring us that those who call upon Him will indeed find rest and redemption.
