How do we know God's tenderness is true?

Answered in 1 source

We know God's tenderness is true through scripture that consistently depicts Him as a caring Father and shepherd to His people.

The truth of God’s tenderness is affirmed in scripture, allowing believers to anchor their faith in His compassionate nature. For instance, Isaiah 40:11 paints a vivid picture of God’s love and concern, and Psalm 23 famously opens with 'The Lord is my shepherd,' emphasizing His role as a protector and caregiver. Additionally, the New Testament further affirms this tenderness through the person of Jesus Christ, who embodies divine compassion and understanding, reminding us that He carries our burdens and sorrows.

This understanding of God’s tenderness is crucial for believers, particularly when facing trials. Jesus, our God-Man-Mediator, experienced human suffering and thus shares in our pain, making His tenderness relatable and reassuring. The consistency of this theme throughout scripture affirms that God is indeed a tender Father who desires the welfare of His children, offering comfort and peace amidst life’s challenges.
