How do we know God's will is for us to receive mercy?

Answered in 1 source

God's will for mercy is affirmed in Scripture, stating He desires to show mercy to those who come to Him.

Understanding God's will for mercy is rooted in the assurance that He works all things according to His purpose, as noted in Romans 8:28. The leper in Matthew 8:2 approached Jesus saying, 'Lord, if Thou wilt,' indicating a submission to God's will. Throughout Scripture, we see God's willingness to extend mercy, as He is described as compassionate and merciful. Hebrews 10 reveals that Christ's position at the right hand of God as our intercessor confirms that His will is to extend mercy to His people continually. Thus, knowing God's will is to show mercy can give believers confidence as they seek Him.
