How do we know God shows mercy to sinners?

Answered in 7 sources

We know God shows mercy to sinners through His actions in Scripture, revealing His patience and the salvation offered in Christ.

The mercy of God is a prominent theme throughout Scripture, exemplified in the way He interacts with sinful humanity. For instance, the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4 illustrates God's willingness to engage with those considered outcasts and sinners. Jesus speaks to her, revealing her sin but extending mercy by offering her the gift of living water. This encounter demonstrates that no one is beyond the reach of God's mercy. Romans 5:8 affirms this truth, stating that God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This indicates that God's mercy resides not in our worthiness but in His perfect character and redemptive plan through Christ.
